MH2551 Chemical Kinetics 6.0 credits
Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
The course will focus on the chemical kinetics, rate theory, rate phenomena in metallurgical and materials processes (Mass transfer and heat transfer). The basic knowledge to consider the overall rate of a sub-process will also be gi
Intended learning outcomes
The course is to provide the students an introduction of 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. Metallurgical and materials processes are very often heterogeneous in nature, which always involve multi-step reactions. The students should learn the methodology to estimate the rate of each of the individual steps.
