Which risk increases in exothermic industrial reactors lacking precise thermal management?

💡 Explanation

Uncontrolled heat accumulation leads to accelerating reactions, because "thermal runaway" is exponentially dependent on temperature via the Arrhenius Equation’s rate constant; therefore the reaction rate increases sharply, rather than a gradual shift toward reactant equilibrium.
