The hydrogenolysis of thiophene C4H4S) has been studied at 235-265 °C over a cobalt-molyb- date catalyst, using a CSTR containing 8.16 g of catalyst. The stoichiometry of the system can be represented by

C4H4S+3H2 → C4H8+ H2S Reaction1
C4H8+ H2 → C4H10 Reaction 2

All species are gaseous at reaction conditions. The feed to the CSTR consisted of a mixture of thiophene, hydrogen, and hydrogen sulfide. The mole fractions of butene (C4Hg), butane (C4Hio), and hydrogen sulfide in the reactor effluent were measured. The mole fractions of hydrogen and thiophene were not measured. The data from one particular experimental run are given below:

Total pressure in reactor= 832 mmHg
Feed rate

Thiophene= 0.653 x 10^-4 g mol/min
Hydrogen= 4.933 × 10^-4 g·mol/min
Hydrogen sulfide= 0

Mole fractions in effluent
H2S =0.0719
Butenes = 0.0541

Calculate -rT (the rate of disappearance of thiophene) and the partial pressures of thiophene, hydrogen, hydrogen sulfide, butenes (total), and butane in the effluent. You may assume that the ideal gas laws are valid.

Aloaded platform of total mass 500 kg is supported by a dashpot and by a set of springs of effective stiffness 72 kn/m. it is observed that when the platform is depressed through a distance x = 12.5 cm below its equilibrium position and then released without any initial velocity; it reaches its equilibrium position in the shortest possible time without overshoot. find the position and velocity of the loaded platform 0.10 sec. after its release. if a further load of 400 kg is added to the platform, find, i) the frequency of damped vibrations, and i) the amplitude of vibration after 2 complete oscillations, given that the initial amplitude is 15 cm.
