Controlling chaos by periodic perturbations in nonisothermal fluidized-bed reactor
- King Saud Univ., Riyadh (Saudi Arabia). Dept. of Chemical Engineering
A two-phase model of a nonisothermal fluidized-bed catalytic reactor with consecutive exothermic reactions makes it possible to control the chaotic behavior by small parametric perturbations of an input variable with suitable frequency and amplitude. By periodic forcing of the feed temperature the chaotic behavior of the autonomous system can be controlled and become periodic even for small amplitudes of forcing. For constant frequency with change in forcing amplitudes the behavior of the system alternates between periodic and chaotic regimes via period doubling and period adding bifurcation mechanisms. When the amplitude is fixed, regular patterns also appear with small changes in the forcing frequency. Appropriate selection of the forcing frequency can improve the yield of the desired intermediate component in the consecutive reactions network A{yields}B{yields}C.
