← ScienceWhich outcome increases when a heated batch reactor lacks sufficient mixing?
A)localized reaction runaway✓
B)homogeneous catalyst degradation
C)overall reaction completion rate
D)average reagent conversion yield
💡 Explanation
Insufficient mixing in a reactor leads to temperature gradients; therefore, thermal runaway initiates via the Arrhenius equation because the reaction rate accelerates exponentially in hotter spots rather than homogeneous heating with uniform reaction.
