Which outcome occurs when a packed-bed reactor experiences increased channeling?

💡 Explanation

When channeling increases, reactants bypass catalytic sites; reaction rate suffers because reduced contact with the catalyst lowers overall conversion. Therefore, the overall reaction rate constant drops, rather than increased selectivity occurring were contact uniformly high across the bed.
