Abstract
A CSTR with two irreversible consecutive reactions -the first exothermic, the second endothermic -shows under numerical simulation a sequence of period- doubling bifurcations of a limit cycle: an ordinary limit cycle gives way to one of period 2; the latter then is replaced by one of period 4; etc., with chaos arising in the limit. The parameter values chosen for the numerical experiment turn out to be relatively close to chemically realistic values.
