← ScienceWhich outcome results when a chemical reactor operates above heat transfer limits?
A)Thermal runaway accelerates reaction rate✓
B)Catalyst deactivation rapidly slows process
C)Equilibrium shifts; undesired products increase
D)Mass transport limitation reduces yield
💡 Explanation
Excessive temperature increases the reaction rate because of the Arrhenius equation; therefore, thermal runaway occurs due to exponential temperature dependence rather than catalyst deactivation or equilibrium alteration which aren't dominant.
