← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when exceeding Reynolds number limits inside refinery distillation columns?
A)Increased tray weeping and dumping
B)Decreased mass transfer efficiency sharply✓
C)Elevated reflux ratio requirements noticeably
D)Premature packing material channel clogging
💡 Explanation
Exceeding Reynolds number limits induces turbulence, compromising distinct vapor-liquid layers; therefore, mass transfer drops drastically because chaotic mixing prevents efficient equilibrium, rather than just weeping changes or packing clogs which occur through different mechanisms.
