✦ Synopsis

The basic model of Ligon and Annmdson (198 1, Chem. Ewng Sci. 36, 653-660) has been employed to assess the influence of white and nonwhite external noise on the behaviour of a fluidixed bed where nonlinear reaction occurs. The paper presents a selfconsistent lin earization scheme for such problems and illustrates its use by considering an example. The analysis gives a quick and easy solution for such complex cases. The analysis for other examples indicates that white and coloured (or nonwhite) noise have different effects on the reactor's behavionr and also reveals that the presence of noise destroys features such as multistationary behaviour which exists in the absence of noise.
