← ScienceWhich risk increases when back pressure unexpectedly reduces turbine catalyst bed airflow?
A)Runaway oxidation reaction occurs✓
B)Active surface area decreases
C)Space velocity stays constant
D)Equilibrium conversion decreases
💡 Explanation
A runaway oxidation reaction can increase because reduced flow diminishes heat removal via convection; therefore the reaction accelerates beyond control rather than reaching equilibrium conversion where mass transport limits the total turnover.
