Abstract

The study focuses on exploring new mechanisms and causes of self-oscillations of kinetic nature in chemical reactions occurring in a closed isothermal system. Self-oscillations are a special nonequilibrium regime of the reaction, in which the concentrations of reagents or the reaction rate strictly periodically change over time. The type of self-oscillations can be different (harmonic, relaxation, complex-periodic). Mathematical models of self-oscillations are multidimensional nonlinear dynamical systems of ordinary differential equations. The main cause of self-oscillation is the instability of such systems due to the lack of stable equilibria. Within the framework of the ideal kinetic law of acting masses, self-oscillations can occur in an open gradient-free system only in reactions involving bimolecular stages of reactant interaction. In a closed isothermal gradient-free system, within the framework of the law of acting masses, self-oscillations of chemical reactions are not possible. The experimental study of some reactions revealed a violation of the law of acting masses and critical phenomena associated with the existence of unstable states. This aroused interest in the study of such reactions using non-ideal kinetics. Currently, the effect of the imperfection of the kinetic law on the possibility of describing the self-oscillations of chemical reactions in a closed isothermal gradient-free system has not been studied. This paper investigates the mechanisms and causes of self-oscillations in chemical reactions occurring in accordance with non-ideal kinetic laws. Utilizing the non-ideal kinetic law proposed by Marcelin-de Donder, this study demonstrates that non-damping relaxation self-oscillations are possible for linear chemical reactions taking place in a closed isothermal gradient-free reactor away from equilibrium.
