MatSE 402
Materials Process Kinetics
Mathematica Tutorial for Solving Linear Systems of Equations
To process a wide variety of materials, we need understand fluid flow, heat
transfer, diffusion, chemical reactions, and the rates at which these
phenomena occur. These topics are studied together in MATSE 402 Materials
Process Kinetics. Examples of problems examined in this course include
fluid flow of molten polymers, solidification of metals, introduction of
electrically active impurities into semiconductors, diffusion in ceramics,
and prediction of the heating and cooling rates of materials during
processing.
