Which risk increases when an industrial ammonia synthesis reactor cooling system suffers reduced flow?

💡 Explanation

A cooling failure increases the catalyst bed temperature; the Arrhenius equation dictates that reaction rate strongly depend on temperature. Because excessive heat release overwhelms heat removal, thermal runaway occurs rather than a controlled equilibrium, therefore causing catalyst damage.
