Abstract:
Structures at steady states have been investigated for an enzyme reaction in a continuous stirred tank reactor that has a random bi-uni reaction mechanism, using the imperfect bifurcation theory via singularities. The analysis has shown that two types of singular points exist. One of these points has the two types of transition states characterized by the hysteresis and double-limit points. It is obtained when the derivative of the steady-state equation with respect to the bifurcation parameter does not vanish. When the derivative vanishes, the other type of singular point is obtained. This point has the two transition states of hysteresis and bifurcation points.
