Which risk increases when operating a Haber-Bosch reactor vessel near theoretical equilibrium?

💡 Explanation

Operating too close to theoretical equilibrium requires very high pressures to maximize yield. The increasing cyclical stresses accelerate metal fatigue because the increased thermal and mechanical stresses cause crack propagation, therefore decreasing the lifespan, rather than reactions speeding up.
