More on the dynamics of a stirred tank with consecutive reactions
TL;DR: The literature on the stirred tank reactor with consecutive reactions is reviewed and a census of multiplicity diagrams, bifurcation diagrams and phase portraits is given in this article, where the location of the organizing centre, introduced by Balakotaiah and Luss, and some features of the butterfly singularity are discussed with reference to variations in the ratio of activation energies.

“Yet Who Would Have Thought the Old Man to have had so Much Blood in Him?”—Reflections on the Multiplicity of Steady States of the Stirred Tank Reactor
W.W. Farr,Rutherford Aris +1 more
TL;DR: The question of the multiplicity of the steady states of a chemical reactor was studied in the pioneering work of Bilous and Amundson as discussed by the authors, who showed that up to seven steady states are possible for consecutive first-order reactions.
