The course introduces students to
electrical engineering, and exposes
them to basic circuit theorems and analysis, capacitance and
electrostatics, electromagnetism and magnetic circuits, as well as basic
alternating current (AC) theory.
Basic mechanics covers the effects of forces on bodies that are stationary and in motion. Prerequisites for this course are:
1. Trignometry
2. Algebra
3. Vectors
5. Intergration
6. Differentiation
7. Matrix
This course provides the foundation in concepts underpinning physical chemistry
necessary for advancement to the higher levels of study in chemistry and
engineering courses.
Core topics include: atomic structure, bonding, states of matter and intermolecular forces, chemical equilibrium, aqueous solution equilibria, acid and base chemistry and transition metal chemistry, state of matter, reaction kinetics.
This course provides students with the
requisite knowledge in thermodynamic systems and their applications in
Minerals/Metallurgical Engineering.
The content of the course includes: Thermodynamic Systems
(homogeneous and heterogeneous systems), Thermochemistry (internal energy;
first, second and third law of thermodynamics; enthalpy; entropy, free energy,
spontaneity of reactions, heat capacity, thermodynamic activity), Equilibria
Systems, Thermodynamics of Solutions (ideal and non-ideal solutions, Raoult’s
law, Henry’s law, Chemical Kinetics (order of equations; first, second and zero
order equations) and Ionic Equilibria
