How Do Temperature Sensors Affect Catalytic Reactions?
Temperature sensors help in maintaining the reaction within the desired temperature range, which is critical for:
- Reaction Kinetics: The rate of reaction typically follows the Arrhenius equation, where temperature is a key factor. - Selectivity: Certain reactions require specific temperatures to favor the formation of desired products over undesired ones. - Catalyst Stability: Preventing temperatures that could deactivate or degrade the catalyst ensures longer operational periods.
