Abstrakt: Experimental and model studies are reported of nucleation induced transitions between bistable states of a chemical reaction in a stirred tank reactor. In both systems studied, BrO-3–Br-–Mn2+ and ClO2-–I-, the rate of stirring has a marked effect upon the transition in one direction but not in the other. In both cases, good qualitative agreement is found between the experimental results and those of a simple, two-compartment reactor model. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
