Complex Dynamics Resulting from Coupling between Oregonators in a Series of Two CSTRs with Recycle

Complex periodic and aperiodic dynamics for the coupling between simple oscillators in a series of two CSTRs with recycle has been investigated. Numerical results are reported with flow rate and recycle ratio as bifurcation parameters. A new route following 1 j bifurcation ( j can be odd or even numbers depending on the space time and recycle ratio) to chaos has been identified. The so-called “well-mixed limit” depends on the chemical kinetics involved.
