Asymptotic behaviour of a closed‐loop thermosyphon with linear friction and viscoelastic binary fluid.

Viscoelastic fluids represent a major challenge both from an engineering and from a mathematical point of view. Recently, we have shown that viscoelasticity induces chaos in closed‐loop thermosyphons even when we consider binary fluids, this is, when we consider a solute in the fluid, as water and antifreezes, for example. In this work, we consider a linear friction law, and we show that in this case with the addition of a solute to the fluid we can prove, under some conditions, chaotic asymptotic behavior for suitable geometry of the circuit and heat flux or ambient temperature functions.
