What are the Challenges in Maintaining Uniform Flow?
Maintaining uniform flow can be challenging due to factors such as reactor fouling, catalyst deactivation, and fluctuating feed compositions. Fouling can obstruct the flow, leading to pressure drops and uneven distribution of reactants. Catalyst deactivation can result in varying reaction rates across the catalyst bed. Fluctuations in feed composition can also affect the flow dynamics, making it difficult to maintain uniform conditions.
