Abstract
The dynamic behaviour of a tubular reactor with axial diffusion and a countercurrent coolant is simulated by means of the so-called straight-line method, together with a semi-implicit Runge-Kutta scheme. The present paper is focused on the analysis of the peculiar type III intermittency transition to chaos exhibited by a tubular reactor for a proper set of parameters values: suitable methods of numerical and statistical type are considered in order to characterize in detail the phenomenon at hand and to recognize it from the theory.
