How does the resistance in the synthesis tower change when the hydrogen-to-nitrogen ratio is too high?

I recently came across a question of this kind: when the hydrogen-to-nitrogen ratio is high, the pressure in the synthesis tower decreases. That’s correct, but I don’t quite understand it; how can this phenomenon be explained?
When the hydrogen-to-nitrogen ratio is high, the hydrogen content is high and the synthesis reaction proceeds more smoothly; however, if this ratio is too high, it is not favorable either. Since hydrogen molecules are small, their partial pressure is low, and consequently the driving force within the system decreases
When the hydrogen-to-nitrogen ratio is too high, the synthesis reaction performs poorly, the circulation volume increases, the system pressure rises, and consequently the pressure difference in the synthesis tower also increases
It is true that the downward force in the synthesis tower increases when the hydrogen-to-nitrogen ratio is high, as nitrogen is denser than hydrogen.
When the hydrogen-to-nitrogen ratio is high, the hydrogen content is high and the synthesis reaction proceeds more smoothly; however, if it’s too high, that’s not good either. Hydrogen molecules are small, so their partial pressure is low, and relatively speaking... I agree with your view
Hydrogen has a much lower density than nitrogen. As the hydrogen-to-nitrogen ratio increases, although the system pressure rises, the power or current of the circulation pump decreases. Isn’t the manifestation of system resistance the system pressure difference? Doesn’t a decrease in system pressure difference also indicate a decrease in resistance?
