✦ Synopsis

The composltlon and temperature m the nelghborhood of a catalyst particle sometlmes evhlblt a penodlc behavior An approximate analytlcal solution of these oscdlatlons has been developed, and It agrees well with a numerical solution of the system of equations for certain ranges of the system parameters The results mdlcate that the time average converslon for the penodlc system IS higher than the steady state value, but the approximate solution IS not very accurate when there are large shifts m the operating level, the case of greatest commercial interest SELF-GENERATED OSCULATIONS ON CATALYST PARTICLES
