Abstract:
Effects of global delayed feedback on diffusion-induced turbulence are studied in a realistic model of catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide on Pt(110). Spatiotemporal patterns resulting from numerical simulations of this model are identified and analyzed using a transformation into the phase and the amplitude of local oscillations. We find that chemical turbulence can be efficiently controlled by varying the feedback intensity and the delay time in the feedback loop. Near the transition from turbulence to uniform oscillations, various chaotic and regular spatiotemporal patterns-intermittent turbulence, two-phase clusters, cells of hexagonal symmetry, and phase turbulence-are found.

Temperature Dependence on Reaction Rate
Atoms, molecules, or ions must collide before they can react with each other. Atoms must be close together to form chemical bonds. This premise is the basis for a theory that explains many observations regarding chemical kinetics, including factors affecting reaction rates.
The collision theory is based on the postulates that (i) the reaction rate is proportional to the rate of reactant collisions, (ii) the reacting species collide in an orientation allowing contact between...

Stability of Equilibrium Configuration
A stable equilibrium occurs when a system tends to return to its original position when given a small displacement, and the potential energy is at its minimum. An example of a stable equilibrium is when a cantilever beam is fixed at one end and a weight is attached to the other end. If the weight...
