Abstract: This work presents the results of the mathematical modeling of the fast traveling wave propagation phenomenon in the fixed-bed catalytic reactors according to a simple (basic) mathematical model with a reversible reaction. Qualitative and quantitative research is used to study the behavior of separatrices' trajectories of the system's non-linear ordinary differential equations. Special attention has been paid to the non-equilibrium thermodynamic methods. The entropy balance equation is constructed and analyzed under the assumption of the simple mathematical model of physical and chemical processes. The influence of key physical and chemical parameters on the fast traveling wave properties is studied. The phenomenon of fast traveling wave propagation in the fixed-bed catalytic reactors provides a vivid example of a spatiotemporal dissipative structure in active heterogeneous medium. These dissipative structures are shown to exist near the thermodynamic equilibrium.
