First Cycle Programmes (Bachelor's Degree)

Course Coordinator

ASSOCIATE PROFESSOR MUSTAFA EROL

Offered to

Metallurgical and Materials Engineering

Course Objective

This course covers the calculations of materials and energy balances of metallurgical production processes by using International standards of units and their conversion factors. The stages of the industrial processes in the field of Metallurgical Engineering are designed by using thermodynamic and/or process simulation softwares.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To describe the systems of units and to apply the statistical data of calculated values on a metallurgical process
2   To make the calculations of materials balances in a basic or complex metallurgical process without containing any chemical reaction.
3   To make the calculations of materials balances in a basic or complex metallurgical process with containing chemical reactions.
4   To make the calculations of energy balances in a basic or complex metallurgical process without containing any chemical reaction.
5   To make the calculations of energy balances in a basic or complex metallurgical process with containing chemical reactions.
6   To learn the basis of a thermodynamic and process simulation/modelling software.
7   Ability to make a simulation of a system, a process and/or a product in the field of Metallurgical Engineering in the most efficient way while calculating the materials and energy balances with its results.
