Question

Data from the following table were obtained for the gas phase decomposition of reactant A in a constant volume batch reactor at 100°C fed with pure A. The stoichiometry of the reaction is 2A → R + S. Calculate the size of the plug flow reactor, operating at 100°C and 1 atm, capable of treating 100 moles/h of a feeding that contains 20% inerts to obtain a 95% conversion of A.
