Chemical wave generation homogeneous

In a homogeneous chemical reaction operated in a CSTR, whatever its initial composition and temperature, the system in Fig. 9.24 evolves towards the single steady state, which can be regarded as an attractor for the system. In CSTR, even under isothermal conditions, the presence of nonlinear steps and negative feedback lead to the appearance of self-osciUations and wave generation, as well as spatial structures.
