Which consequence results when a batch reactor lacks sufficient mixing near a catalyst?

A)Overall reaction approaches equilibrium sooner
B)Catalyst deactivation occurs at normal rate
C)Heat transfer limitations develop locally
D)Global reaction rates effectively increase

💡 Explanation

Heat transfer limitations develop because of a higher local reaction rate exceeding dissipation; therefore, local temperature increases, rather than a uniform temperature that would occur with proper mixing, because reaction rates accelerate faster at higher temperature.
