Which outcome results when an industrial catalytic reactor runs at excessively high inflow of reactants?

💡 Explanation

Excessive reactant inflow overwhelms heat removal capacity, so a runaway exothermic reaction occurs because heat generation exceeds heat dissipation leading to ‘thermal-runaway’. Therefore, temperature gradients increase, rather than other kinetic limitations, because catalyst activity remains largely unaffected under short excursions.
