Which outcome occurs when a packed-bed catalytic reactor experiences significant pressure drop?

💡 Explanation

Pressure drop increases the residence time standard deviation, thus the effective reaction mixture deviates from ideal plug flow reaction resulting in decreased rate per catalyst, compared to expected yields because the mechanism reduces ideal reaction duration rather than enhancing performance.
