6. Molar phase diagrams, Thermodynamics of phase phase transformations, Home assignment 6 handed out.

Discussion of home assignment 6

7. Partitionless transformations                                   

Home exam to be handed in.
You may discuss the problems within the group but you must hand in individual solutions.

The course deals with the thermodynamic basis of phase equilibria and phase transformations in materials science. The fundamental laws of thermodynamics and general conditions for equilibrium and stability will be discussed. The mathematical modeling of various phases and their thermodynamic behavior and some related phenomena will be discussed

Reading instructions: http://www.met.kth.se/utbildning/4H5104/reading-instructions.pdf

När kurs inte längre ges har student möjlighet att examineras under ytterligare två läsår.

Examinator beslutar, baserat på rekommendation från KTH:s handläggare av stöd till studenter med funktionsnedsättning, om eventuell anpassad examination för studenter med dokumenterad, varaktig funktionsnedsättning.

Examinator får medge annan examinationsform vid omexamination av enstaka studenter.

Written material and home assignments will be handed out at each lecture. All active students are required to study the material and to solve the home-work problems before next discussion and lecture.

A written exam will be given after the last lecture, a separate written exam will be given in the advanced course

• Vid grupparbete har alla i gruppen ansvar för gruppens arbete.
• Vid examination ska varje student ärligt redovisa hjälp som erhållits och källor som använts.
• Vid muntlig examination ska varje student kunna redogöra för hela uppgiften och hela lösningen.
