Which outcome increases when a packed-bed chemical reactor temperature approaches adiabatic runaway?

A)Radical chain branching initiation rate
B)Catalyst surface area optimization
C)Residence time distribution uniformity
D)Intra-particle diffusion limitation

💡 Explanation

Runaway reactions increase radical chain branching initiation rate because the Arrhenius equation shows exponential rate increase with temperature; therefore the highly exothermic reactions accelerate rapidly rather than slowing due to diffusion since the increased rate dominates first.
