Which risk increases relating pressure when exceeding the maximum energy yield for a catalytic cracking reactor?

💡 Explanation

An uncontrolled exothermic thermal runaway can occur because exceeding the energy yield limit leads to a dramatic increase in temperature beyond control capabilities creating a "Positive Feedback Loop." Therefore, reactor damage is far more probable, rather than improved cracking or selectivity.
