Oscillation Modes in a Flow-Through Reactor of Ideal Mixing: A Heterogeneous Liquid–Liquid System

Abstract

The mechanism and evolution of the oscillatory modes are studied for a single high-temperature stationary state of a flow-through reactor of ideal mixing with a heterogeneous reacting liquid-liquid system, with a change in the wide range of the parameter that determines the stability of the stationary state but does not affect its position. It is shown that of the two possible mechanisms for the creation of oscillations, soft and hard, in our case the latter is realized. In the region of a stable focus, oscillations of a finite amplitude immediately appear. The source of a stable limit cycle (mathematical image of oscillations) is a semistable limit cycle.
