Flow Distributed Oscillations • patterns without differential diffusion or flow • Very simple reactor configuration: plug-flow tubular reactor fed from CSTR • reaction run under conditions so it is oscillatory in batch, but steady-state in CSTR CSTR
Simple explanation • CSTR ensures each “droplet” leaves with same “phase” • Oscillations occur in each droplet at same time after leaving CSTR and, hence, at same place in PFR
Explains: need for “oscillatory batch” reaction stationary pattern wavelength = velocity ´ oscill period • Doesn’t explain critical flow velocity other responses observed
CDIMA reaction chlorine dioxide – iodine - malonic acid reaction: Lengyel-Epstein model (1) MA + I2 IMA + I + H+ (2) ClO2 + IClO2 + ½ I2 (3) ClO2 + 4 I + 4 H+ Cl + 2 I2
Dimensionless equations u = [I-], v = [ClO2-]: uniform steady-state is a solution of these equations, but is it stable?
stationary FDO pattern Relevance to somatogenesis?
