The data in Table P5.28 have been obtained on the decomposition of gaseous reactant A in a constant volume batch reactor at 100°C. 
The stoichiometry of the reaction is 2A → R + S. What size plug flow reactor (in liters) operating at 100°C and 1 atm can treat 100 mol A/hr in a feed consisting of 20% inerts to obtain 95% conversion of A?
