Ashis Das
all the NPTEL lecture videos on Advanced Metallurgical
Thermodynamics.
What is second law of thermodynamics and write down the equation
governing it? The equation is valid for what kind of path?
Derive all equations combining 1st and 2nd law of thermodynamics. Derive
Maxwell relations from these equations.
Derive Clausius Clapeyron equation. Now explain the concept of ice-skating
using this equation.
Derive ΔS(mix) for binary solution. Using this equation prove that 100% purity not possible.
What is Raoult’s law? Plot it(activity vs atom fraction). Also show deviations in real solutions. Why do
the curves(positive and negative deviation) converge at the end points(pure sides) with ideal
solution curve?
How do fatigue failure occur even if the applied stress is below yield stress?
Draw tensile curve for a ductile metal. Also draw Impact Energy vs Temp.
curve for BCC and FCC metals.
Draw yield locus and what is the criteria for yielding?
How does alloying element help in strengthening?
Derive Γ = Gb/l for a dislocation loop formation around precipitates.
A relatively brittle metal can be extruded without cracking but same metal
cracks on rolling. Why?
What is age hardening? Explain the process for age hardening a material.
What happens if we age the material for a very long time?
After answering(Q.12) that the precipitates will grow in size they asked how
will the precipitate grow? Smaller precipitate will grow or larger one will
grow and why?
Draw Ellingham diagram for metal oxidation, CO formation, CO2 formation
and H2O gas formation.
If lines of two different metal oxidation in Ellingham diagram do not
intersect each other, i.e., they are parallel, then is metallothermic reduction
possible?
What is Pidgeon Process?
Though ΔG = +ve for the reaction, 2MgO + Si → 2Mg + SiO2, but still Mg
metal can be extracted. How is this possible?
Why is ferro-silicon used in Pidgeon Process instead of pure silicon? What
effect does Fe has on the process?
