This page is part of a project for MECH370, a Queen's University class on materials processing. Please do not edit this page before Dec. 1, 2008 unless you are in that class, but feel free to make comments using the discussion tab.

Fall 2008

The basic mechanisms of ^W and ^W in materials are developed from thermodynamic and kinetic principles. Topics include ^W, ^W, ^W and solid-state transformations. The application of these phenomena to materials processing methods, such as ^W, ^W, ^W and ^W is described.

Energy and Materials Efficiency Project

With abundant readily accessible materials and extremely inexpensive energy - both materials and energy efficiency have been regrettably downplayed and even ignored in industrial materials processing. In the final section of this course - students will develop review articles of materials efficiency and energy efficiency in materials processing in order to explore techniques in more detail than the text.

• Example: electrospray

• For help on the literature review go here

• For some project ideas see Strategies for energy reduction in semiconductor manufacturing
