Course Notes
CALENDAR DESCRIPTION:

MATLS 3E04 MASS TRANSFER
Phenomenological and mechanistic approaches to diffusion; boundary conditions; diffusion in fl uids and solids; point defects in solids.
Three lectures, two tutorials; second term.
Prerequisite(s): MATLS 1M03 and both MATH 2A03 and 2C03, or both MATH 2Z03 and 2ZZ3 or registration in Level IV or above in Civil Engineering


COURSE OBJECTIVES:

"At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to: (list,1,2,3...)

1. Make calculations involving diffusive processes in both fluids and solids, including phase transformations in metals and ceramics, fabrication processes, such as sintering and casting, and materials degradation through creep, corrosion etc..

2. Set up physical models based on a well developed methodology. Examples will be drawn primarily from the field of diffusion but the skills developed by the student will applicable to a wide range of physical processes.


RELEVANCE TO OTHER COURSES:

The course is a prerequisite to numerous other courses in the curriculum, such as 4B04, 4C04 and 4D03.  These courses use the same concepts, since mass transport is a common phenomenon in materials processing, and in undertstanding the properties of specific materials. This course uses a similar methodology to 3A04 which also involve transport processes and the development of physical models.

ACADEMIC DISHONESTY POLICY

"Academic dishonesty consists of misrepresentation by deception or by other fraudulent means and can result in serious consequences, e.g. the grade of
zero on an assignment, loss of credit with a notation on the transcript (notation reads: "Grade of F assigned for academic dishonesty"), and/or suspension or expulsion from the university.

It is your responsibility to understand what constitutes academic dishonesty. For information on the various kinds of academic dishonesty please refer to the Academic Integrity Policy, specifically Appendix 3, located at http://www.mcmaster.ca/senate/academic/ac_integrity.html

The following illustrates only three forms of academic dishonesty:

  1. Plagiarism, e.g. the submission of work that is not one's own or for which other credit has been obtained. (Insert specific course information, e.g. style guide)
  2. Improper collaboration in group work. (Insert specific course information)
  3. Copying or using unauthorized aids in tests and examinations.

(If applicable) In this course we will be using a software package designed to reveal plagiarism. Students will be required to submit their work electronically and in hard copy so that it can be checked for academic dishonesty."


COMMENTS:

This is a basic course on mass transport in materials. It is relevant to materials processing and to microstructure development in engineering materials.
