Which outcome results when a packed bed reactor, reaching equilibrium, experiences reactant channeling?

💡 Explanation

Channeling causes reactants to bypass the catalyst bed through preferential pathways; hence, equilibrium isn't fully promoted. Therefore, product yield decreases because the effective contact time is limited by channeling, rather than uniform flow promoting conversion.
