← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a packed-bed reactor experiences increased channeling?
A)Reduced overall reaction rate constant✓
B)Increased product selectivity for desired
C)Enhanced heat transfer reactor efficiency
D)Uniform distribution reactant conversion rate
💡 Explanation
When channeling increases, reactants bypass catalytic sites; reaction rate suffers because reduced contact with the catalyst lowers overall conversion. Therefore, the overall reaction rate constant drops, rather than increased selectivity occurring were contact uniformly high across the bed.
