Which outcome increases as a chemical reactor nears runaway conditions?

💡 Explanation

Runaway occurs as heat release accelerates; thermal runaway results because heat production outpaces removal due to Arrhenius kinetics, leading to increased rate constants and further exothermic reactions, therefore temperature increases rapidly, rather than slowly reaching equilibrium or coolant limitations alone.
