JNTUK B.Tech Engineering Chemistry R13 Syllabus for Engineering R13 gives you detail information about Engineering Chemistry syllabus.
UNIT-I: WATER TECHNOLOGY
- Hard Water – Estimation of hardness by EDTA method – Potable water- Sterilization and Disinfection – Boiler feed water – Boiler troubles – Priming and foaming, scale formation, corrosion, caustic embrittlement, turbine deposits – Softening of water – Lime soda, Zeolite processes – Reverse osmosis – Electro Dialysis, Ion exchange process.
- Objectives : For prospective engineers knowledge about water used in industries (boilers etc.) and for drinking purposes is useful; hence chemistry of hard water, boiler troubles and modern methods of softening hard water is introduced.
UNIT-II : ELECTROCHEMISTRY
- Concept of Ionic conductance – Ionic Mobilities – Applications of Kohlrausch law – Conductometric titrations – Galvanic cells – Electrode potentials – Nernst equation – Electrochemical series – Potentiometrictitrations – Concentration cells – Ion selective electrode –Glass electrodes – Fluoride electrode; Batteries and Fuel cells.
- Objectives : Knowledge of galvanic cells, electrode potentials, concentration cells is necessary for engineers to understand corrosion problem and its control ; also this knowledge helps in understanding modern bio-sensors, fuel cells and improve them
UNIT-III : CORROSION
- Causes and effects of corrosion – theories of corrosion (dry, chemical and electrochemical corrosion) – Factors affecting corrosion – Corrosion control methods – Cathodic protection –Sacrificial Anodic, Impressed current methods – Surface coatings – Methods of application on metals (Hot dipping, Galvanizing, tinning, Cladding, Electroplating, Electroless plating) – Organic surface coatings – Paints – Their constituents and their functions.
- Objectives : the problems associated with corrosion are well known and the engineers must be aware of these problems and also how to counter them.
UNIT-IV : HIGH POLYMERS
- Types of Polymerization – Stereo regular Polymers – Physical and Mechanical properties of polymers – Plastics – Thermoplastics and thermo setting plastics – Compounding and Fabrication of plastics – Preparation and properties of Polyethylene, PVC and Bakelite – Elastomers – Rubber and Vulcanization – Synthetic rubbers – Styrene butadiene rubber – Thiokol – applications.
- Objectives : Plastics are materials used very widely as engineering materials. An understanding of properties particularly physical and mechanical properties of polymers / plastics / elastomers helps in selecting suitable materials for different purposes.
UNIT-V : FUELS
- Coal – Proximate and ultimate analysis – Numerical problems based on analysis – Calorific vaule – HCV and LCV – Problems based on calorific values; petroleum – Refining – Cracking – Petrol – Diesel knocking; Gaseous fuels – Natural gas – LPG, CNG – Combustion – Problems on air requirements.
- Objectives : A board understanding of the more important fuels employed on a large scale is necessary for all engineer to understand energy – related problems and solve them.
UNIT-VI : CHEMISTRY OF ADVANCED MATERIALS
- Nanometerials (Preparation of carbon nanotubes and fullerenes – Properties of nanomaterials – Engineering applications) – Liquid crystals (Types –
- Application in LCD and Engineering Applications) – Fiber reinforced plastics – Biodegradable polymers – Conducting polymers – Solar cells (Solar heaters – Photo voltaic cells – Solar reflectors – Green house concepts – Green chemistry (Methods for green synthesis and Applications) – Cement – Hardening and setting – Deterioration of cement concrete.
- Objectives : With the knowledge available now, future engineers should know at least some of the advanced materials that are becoming available. Hence some of them are introduced here.
