Hi guys
it may be simpler:
the speed in the reactor is very important, the pressure losses and the overheating too; the interior of the steel reactors is not smooth, the flow is necessarily turbulent
suddenly the inlet / outlet pressure differential is important
and I think that the expansion is done immediately at the inlet of the reactor (as in a fridge expansion valve, temperature drop), then the mixture heats up due to the exchange with the burnt gases and friction
the more the mass flow increases, the more the T ° increases at the outlet of the exchanger
