Flow reactor studies of the H2 O2 reaction

The p-Ta ignition diagram obtained in the above manner shows an explosion limit. Fig. 5.19, similar in both form and location to that observed for identical mixture compositions in closed vessels and also to similar slow reaction behaviour for pressures above the limit. Use of a flow reactor, however, also allows the behaviour on the ignition side of the 

The limit cycles corresponding to these oscillations can be obtained from a single experimental record (most conveniently, the thermocouple signal) using the method of delays . In this, the value of the signal at some time t is plotted against the value of the same signal at a later time t + where
