MH2041 Applied Thermodynamics and Kinetics, Part 2 6.0 credits

Fundamentals

• Solution thermodynamics
• Multicomponent phase diagrams, kinetics for materials processes
• Applications in materials engineering, e.g.
• Ironmaking, sulfide roasting and smelting, iron and steel refining, silicon refining
• Solid phase transformations and equilibria in metals and alloys

After the course the student will be able to:

• Read and interpret ternary, quaternary, and quinary phase diagrams of alloys and oxide systems
• Apply ternary lever rule, liquidus projections, and iso-activity diagrams
• Apply phase diagrams in selection of refractories for liquid slags
• Perform equilibrium calculations in reduction of metal oxides and sulfides, gas solubility in metallic melts, solute distributions in slag-metal systems, and in modification of non-metallic inclusions

Basic knowledge of chemical thermodynamics and phase equilibria in binary systems, corresponding to the courses MH2029 Process Metallurgy or MH2039 Process Engineering.

MH1029 Sustainable Process Technology (BSc students from KTH)

If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.

• INL1 - Hand in assignment, 1.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
• TEN1 - Written examination, 5.0 credits, grading scale: A, B, C, D, E, FX, F

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.

The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.

• 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.
