Identification of the oscillation period of chemical reactors by chaotic sampling of the conversion degree

摘要

To stabilize the periodic operation of a chemical reactor the oscillationperiod should be determined precisely in real time. The method discussed in thepaper is based on adaptive sampling of the state variable with the use ofchaotic mapping to itself. It enables precise determination of the oscillationperiod in real time and could be used for a proper control system, that cansuccessfully control the process and maintain the oscillation period at a setlevel. The method was applied to a tank reactor and tubular reactor withrecycle.
