| Abstract: | The aim of this paper is to research the dynamical behaviors of the continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) model with delay. Firstly, we discuss the situation that its related characteristic equation has a simple zero root and a pair of purely imaginary roots. Secondly, the center manifold method and the normal form method are used to reduce the equation of CSTR model. Finally, some characteristics about the CSTR model can be obtained. We analyze three different topological structure and give entire bifurcation diagrams and phase portraits, which are innovative phenomenon. At the end, we obtain the stable and unstable periodic solutions by numerical simulation. |
