This page is part of a project for MECH370, a Queen's University class on materials processing. Feel free to make comments using the discussion tab.

MECH370

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
