The students should be able to describe the rate of a chemical reaction and the ways of evaluating it. In view of the heterogeneous nature of most of the metallurgical and materials processes, the students must know how to identify whether a process is composed of series steps or parallel steps or a combination. It is also a basic requirement to understand the methodology to estimate the rate of each of the individual steps in multi-step reactions. The connection between the rate phenomena and chemical reaction will also be discussed. The course includes lectures, tutorials, project work, individual project discussions and final seminar.

Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
The course aims at providing the students with an introduction to the kinetics of chemical reactions and rate phenomena in metallurgical as well as materials processes. The knowledge will form the fundamental basis for the students to study the design of metallurgical as well as materials processes, wherein rates of reactions and mass transfer play crucial roles.

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
