Abstract
The dynamic behavior of coupled continuous stirred tank reactors in which the nonisothermal Langmuir-Hinshelwood type reactions occur, exhibits several types of pattern formation. the regular and irregular multipeak patterns are detected for the endothermic reaction of a Langmuir-Hinshelwood type when the heat communication between the neighboring cells is larger than the mass interaction. These observations may imply the possible existence of spatial structure in a matrix of catalysts, the non-uniform distribution of concentration and temperature in packed bed reactors, and corrugated propagating fronts in combustion problems.
