Which outcome will occur as a chemical plant process control loop's setpoint cycles outside design parameters?

💡 Explanation

Process instability increases as a system repeatedly operates away from its optimal condition due to increased oscillations; this is because the control system overcorrects. The mechanism is called cycling, therefore the plant becomes less stable, rather than exhibiting other control improvements.
