Bifurcation sequences in an incompletely macromixed stirred tank

Research output: Journal Publications and ReviewsRGC 21 - Publication in refereed journalpeer-review

Abstract

Complex periodic and aperiodic dynamics have been reported in a model of an incompletely macromixed stirred tank reactor. A route to chaos following a 1j bifurcation (j can be odd or even depending on the space time and reflux ratios) was identified. We demonstrate that Farey arithmetics describe the even-j bifurcation sequence. The firing number versus reflux ratio staircase exhibits a fractal dimension. No such relation exists in the odd-j bifurcation sequence.
