The effect of non‐ideal mixing on the number of steady states and dynamic behaviour for autocatalytical reactions in a CSTR

In this paper, we analyze the concentration multiplicity and dynamic behavior for an autocatalytical reaction, A + R → (n + 1)R + products with an overall rate expression given by – γ_a= kc_a^pc_r^r(p > 0 and r > 0) in a imperfectly mixed (Cholette's model) CSTR. We proved that non‐ideal mixing had an effect on the number of steady states and dynamic behavior for the reaction orders r > 1 and r = 1. However, the above‐mentioned effect does not happen for the reaction order r < 1. Furthermore, a simulated example was used to demonstrate our results.
