Experimental controlling the Belousov-Zhabotinsky-CSTR chemical chaotic reaction

The chaotic dynamics of Belousov-Zhabotinsky chemical reaction in continuou s now stirred rank reactor (CSTR) is controlled by two methods: (1) a self- adaptive delay feedback control scheme; (2) a linear self-interacting contr ol method. The first control method is a kind of perturbation control and c an stabilize the BZ-CSTR chemical chaos to its embedded unstable periodic o rbits (UPO). The advantage of the method is illustrated by the self-adaptiv e regulation of the system delay time. The second control method can drive the BZ-CSTR chaotic dynamics to a new status of dynamics which may not be t he original embedded intrinsic orbits of the chaos. Both methods illustrate great flexibility and effectiveness in controlling BZ-CSTR chemical chaos.
