Existence of multiple steady states and sustained oscillations in catalyst pellet with Dirac delta activity distribution and bimolecular reaction with Langmuir-Hinshelwood rate expression is numerically established. In addition it is shown that deactivation may lead to temporary oscillations.

โฆ Synopsis
An analysis of the influence of the non-uniform distribution of the active species in a catalyst pellet on the effectiveness factor and point yield for the van de Vusse reaction network is carried out. The effect of diierent parameters on the poiat yield for a single pellat and on the integral yield for a fixed bed reactor is studied, and the optimum activity distribution is determined.
