Which consequence results when a chemical reactor feed flow surges beyond designed limits?

A)Increased catalyst bed hot spotting
B)Decreased overall product conversion Rate
C)Enhanced radial temperature profile
D)Improved heat exchanger performance

💡 Explanation

Increased flow overwhelms mixing and heat transfer; therefore, the **Arrhenius equation**, describing exponentially increased reaction rates with temperature increase at certain locations, takes effect much faster, rather than controlled heat removal, because hot spots develop due to insufficient cooling.
