Chaotic Behaviours Observed in Homogeneous Chemical Systems

Synergetics — From Microscopic to Macroscopic Order

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Synergetics ((SSSYN,volume 22))

Abstract

Dynamical systems theory is a branch of mathematical physics, growing rapidly nowadays, which deals with ordinary differential equations and with discrete applications as well. It has introduced into science several new concepts, such as weak stability, strange attractor, mixing of trajectories, and so on. The aim of this lecture is to show how far these ideas prove to be relevant in the study of chemically reacting systems, evolving far from equilibrium. To this end, an overview of the main results obtained over the past four years is presented in what follows. As a conclusion I will mention some still unanswered questions and try to guess how the future could look in this field of experimental research.

  5. It must be reminded that we are dealing with homogeneous reactions. Therefore periodic processes resulting from a competition between a physical effect and a chemical reaction are disregarded: e.g. periodic dissolution of metals in acidic media, periodic decomposition of formaldehyde in concentrated sulphuric acid (Morgan reaction).
