Liapunov’s time of a tubular chemical reactor with mass recycle

The scope of the paper is a theoretical analysis of the impact of the temperature of the cooling agent on the so called: ‘‘Liapunov’s time” in a model of a tubular chemical rector. For a chaotic solution, the values of Liapunov’s time were found to be relatively low. This means that the chaotic state of the reactor is unpredictable even after relatively short observation time.
