Nonlinear chemical reaction and the mass action law - Periodic tuning of the CSTR-BZ reaction system

The periodic perturbations on oscillatory states of CSTR - BZ reaction is s tudied by alternating flow rate in the experiment. Dynamic responses of dif ferent oscillation forms have been observed. Bifurcation diagram is calcula ted based on the 4 - variable Montanator model of BZ reaction with or witho ut perturbation by now rate signal. Our experimental results obtained in BZ reaction are in good agreement with the Montanator model simulation, which indicates that the mass action law still has certain application near bifu rcation in this system.
