Oscillations, Waves, and Chaos in Chemical Kinetics

by Stephen K. Scott

Book Overview

The phenomena of oscillations, travelling waves, and chaos in reacting chemical systems began as curiosities but now support an active, international research field. This book shows how these exotic patterns arise from the underlying chemical mechanisms. The origin of chemical feedback is
revealed using three example reactions: the isolate-reductant (Landolt) reaction, the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction, and the combustion of hydrogen. Thermal feedback...
