Which mechanism causes slowed catalytic conversion when a packed bed reactor experiences channeling?

💡 Explanation

Channeling causes bypassing; therefore, the reduced contact decreases available area because only a fraction of the catalyst participates in reactions, rather than increased diffusion or mixing that might counteract the reduction.
