← ScienceWhich risk increases when a PID controller aggressively tunes the transfer function in a closed-loop chemical reactor?
A)Thermal runaway instability occurrence✓
B)Increased product yield sensitivity
C)Suboptimal reagent mixing efficiency
D)Catalyst poisoning susceptibility
💡 Explanation
High PID gains cause instability through positive feedback; therefore, thermal runaway may develop in exothermic reactions because the enhanced adjustments amplify minor temperature fluctuations, leading to instability rather than stable control.
