What are the Consequences of Ignoring Heat Transfer Limitations?
Ignoring heat transfer limitations can lead to several negative consequences:
1. Reduced Efficiency: Poor heat transfer can lower the reaction rate and overall efficiency of the catalytic process. 2. Hot Spots: Localized overheating can cause catalyst deactivation or undesirable side reactions. 3. Cold Spots: Insufficient heating can result in incomplete reactions and lower yields. 4. Safety Risks: In extreme cases, poor heat management can lead to runaway reactions or other safety hazards.
