Nonlinear Analysis and Prediction of Time Series in Multi-Phase Reactors (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology / SpringerBriefs on Multiphase Flow)

This book reports on important nonlinear aspects or deterministic chaos issues in the systems of multi-phase reactors. The reactors treated in the book include gas-liquid bubble columns, gas-liquid-solid fluidized beds and gas-liquid-solid magnetized fluidized beds. The authors take pressure fluctuations in the bubble columns as time series for nonlinear analysis, modeling and forecasting. They present qualitative and quantitative non-linear analysis tools which include attractor phase plane plot, correlation dimension, Kolmogorov entropy and largest Lyapunov exponent calculations and local non-linear short-term prediction. Introduction.- Experimental.- Analysis tools of time series data.- Results and discussion.- Concluding remarks.
