← TechnologyWhich risk increases when thermal expansion coefficients mismatch in heat exchanger?
A)Increased permeate flux decline
B)Compromised structural integrity✓
C)Decreased catalyst surface area
D)Elevated exothermic runaway velocity
💡 Explanation
A mismatched coefficient causes differential expansions and stresses at joints due to uneven heating, therefore weakening mechanical bonds rather than affecting flow, catalysis, or kinetics, because stress concentration exceeds material strength limits.
