This paper deals with a particular type of limit cycle in chemical reaction systems, the so‐called relaxation oscillation. This phenomenon can be caused by thermal or kinetically induced instabilities in a loop reactor or a CSTR, but can also occur in a catalytic fixed‐bed reactor for an endothermic reaction with self‐inhibiting or self‐accelerating steps.
