← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a temperature sensor fails in a chemical reactor regulated by a PLC?
A)Thermal runaway reactions may occur✓
B)Increased product yield stabilizes output
C)The PLC initiates emergency shutdown slowly
D)Controlled substance phase transitions improve
💡 Explanation
Thermal runaway occurs as a result of the loss of `temperature feedback control` from the sensor; therefore, the PLC can no longer properly regulate the reactor's temperature because it does not receive accurate temperature readings, rather than maintaining control or safely shutting down.
