In an exothermic reaction taking place in an adiabatic reactor, the product temperature will be higher than the reactor feed temperature. This is because in an exothermic reaction, heat is released as a product of the reaction.
In an adiabatic reactor, there is no heat exchange with the surroundings, so the heat generated by the exothermic reaction increases the temperature inside the reactor. As a result, the product temperature is higher than the initial feed temperature.
