Which outcome occurs when gain exceeds stability margins in closed-loop PID temperature control of a chemical reactor?

💡 Explanation

When gain exceeds stability margins, the system experiences positive feedback because small disturbances are amplified, leading to instability that manifests as oscillations. Therefore, temperature oscillates, rather than actuator stall, runaway reaction, or sensor drift which are caused by different malfunctions.
