I was going through some adiabatic reactor concepts and i have a slight doubt ....what is the product temperature in case of endothermic reactions carried out in adiabatic reactors, is it greater or lesser than the feed temperature?.

I think you know the answer, especially with your moniker.

An adiabatic process is one where there is no heat transfer in or out.

An endothermic process is one that takes in heat.

Evidently, if it takes in heat from inside the reactor, the temperature will drop.
