Abstract: Two types of birhymicity(Ⅰ, Ⅱ) of CuSO4-H2O2-KSCN-NaOHreaction system are found to be in continuous flow stirred tank reactor(CSTR). The transitions between two oscillatory states in the birhymicity Ⅱ region of the present chemical reaction have been induced by the application of a sinusoidal flowrate signal. One-way transition, i.e., from one oscillation to another oscillation(OSS1→OSS2 or OSS2→OSS1), only occurs in the two critical regions of birhymicity Ⅱ. The switching between OSS1 and OSS2 can be observed at kf0=4.0 mL/min in OSS1 and kf0=3.0 mL/min in OSS2 by certain periodical modulation.
