Abstract

The simultaneous influence of temperature and flow rate (k0) in the oscillatory regime of the bromate-oxalic acid-acetone-Ce(III) oscillating reaction was investigated. The influence of temperature was evaluated in terms of the oscillatory activation energy (Eω), which was determined at different flow rates. Increasing k0, the oscillatory activation energy is decreased, tending to a limit value, Eω∞. The sensitivity of Eω with k0 is described by the parameter η=dEω/d(1/k0). Eω∞ and η are global properties of any particular oscillating reaction and describes a correlation between the dynamical behavior and temperature, and should be used when comparing different oscillating reactions.
