Which outcome reduces reaction rates when a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR) is subject to significant back-mixing?

💡 Explanation

Broadened residence time distributions reduce the rate, because *Dispersion* causes reactants to spend variable durations in the reactor giving non-ideal conversions; therefore the overall reaction rate decreases, rather than increasing it from narrowed concentrations or affecting heat transfer.
