โœฆ Synopsis

The dynamic behaviour of two coupled continuous stirred tank reactors in sequence is studied when the first reactor is being operated under limit cycle regimes producing self-sustained natural oscillations. The periodic output from the first reactor is then used as a forced input into the second reactor. It has been observed and demonstrated through stability analysis and computation that the overall performance of the system can be greatly enhanced in terms of time-averaged conversion by employing the above-mentioned operation strategy. This new concept of coupling free and forced oscillation does not require any additional external energy and can have significant implications beyond the chemical systems and possibly for various biological systems as limit cycles occur much more frequently in biological processes than in chemical processes.

The recently developed time transformation method [1-3] is extended to the analysis of forced vibration of the strongly non-linear undamped oscillator, ii + u + el(u) = P(t), where f(u) is a non-linear function of the displacement u(t) and e is not necessarily small. Two types of external loading P(
