Experimental Observation of Chaotic Behavior in CO Oxidation in Lumped and Distributed Catalytic Systems

Abstract
Measurements of the catalyst temperature and outlet conversion in differential, integral and honeycomb systems give evidence that the catalytic CO oxidation may proceed chaotically in time over a range of inlet CO concentrations and temperatures. Development of aperiodic oscillations from periodic oscillations was experimentally investigated. In distributed systems chaotic behavior may exist only in a narrow range of inlet temperatures.
