Engineering Chemistry – II Detailed Syllabus for B.Tech second sem is covered here. This gives the details about credits, number of hours and other details along with reference books for the course.
The detailed syllabus for Engineering Chemistry – II B.Tech 2016-2017 (R13) secondsem is as follows
OBJECTIVES:
- To make the students conversant with boiler feed water requirements, related problems and water treatment techniques.
- Principles of electrochemical reactions, redox reactions in corrosion of materials and methods for corrosion prevention and protection of materials.
- Principles and generation of energy in batteries, nuclear reactors, solar cells, wind mills and fuel cells.
- Preparation, properties and applications of engineering materials. Types of fuels, calorific value calculations, manufacture of solid, liquid and gaseous fuels.
UNIT I : WATER TECHNOLOGY [9 Hours]
Introduction to boiler feed water-requirements-formation of deposits in steam boilers and heat exchangers- disadvantages (wastage of fuels, decrease in efficiency, boiler explosion) prevention of scale formation -softening of hard water -external treatment zeolite and demineralization – internal treatmentboiler compounds (phosphate, calgon, carbonate, colloidal) – caustic embrittlement -boiler corrosion-priming and foaming- desalination of brackish water –reverse osmosis.
UNIT II: ELECTROCHEMISTRY AND CORROSION [9 Hours]
Electrochemical cell – redox reaction, electrode potential- origin of electrode potential- oxidation potential- reduction potential, measurement and applications – electrochemical series and its significance – Nernst equation (derivation and problems). Corrosion- causes- factors- types-chemical, electrochemical corrosion (galvanic, differential aeration), corrosion control – material selection and design aspects – electrochemical protection – sacrificial anode method and impressed current cathodic method. Paints- constituents and function. Electroplating of Copper and electroless plating of nickel.
UNIT III : ENERGY SOURCES [9 Hours]
Introduction- nuclear energy- nuclear fission- controlled nuclear fission- nuclear
fusion- differences between nuclear fission and fusion- nuclear chain reactionsnuclear reactor power generator- classification of nuclear reactor- light water reactor- breeder reactor- solar energy conversion- solar cells- wind energy.
