Dr. Reddy
has been teaching both undergraduate and graduate courses and has been
equally occupied with funded research activities in the MTE Department. Some of the courses he has been
teaching are chemical, metallurgical and materials science and
engineering are
Thermodynamics, High-temperature
materials processing, Chemical metallurgy, Introduction to ceramics,
Materials Transport Phenomena, Phase diagrams and Materials engineering
design.
The courses were received well by both graduate and
undergraduate students. High-temperature materials processing laboratory
by including several computer-aided experiments were installed to
enhance the quality of instruction in undergraduate engineering
curriculum. He also taught several short courses in USA and abroad.
A detail list of courses is given with course details on some of his
recent courses. |

MTE 353:
Transport Phenomena |
|
Text Book:
Lecture Notes and Materials |
|
Course Outline:
The purpose of this course is to deliver basic
knowledge of Transport Phenomena to the students. Specifically, the
course covers introduction and definitions, material and energy
balances, momentum transport laminar flow, equation of continuity
and conservation of momentum and fluid flow, turbulent flow,
mechanical energy balance and its application to fluid flow,
transport heat by conduction and convection, transient heat flow ,
heat transport by thermal radiation, mass transport by diffusion in
the solid state, mass transport by diffusion in the solid state, and
mass transport in solids. In addition, experiments are demonstrated
in laboratories on heat transfer and thermal conductivity
measurements, and heat capacity and thermodynamic calculations. |

MTE 362: Thermodynamics Materials |
|
Text Book:
Thermodynamics, 2nd Edition, by N. A Gokcen and R. G. Reddy,
Plenum Press, New York and London, 1996. |
|
Course Outline:
A continuation of the
first course in thermodynamics for upper-class metallurgical engineering
students. This course is intended to give a broad review of
thermodynamics as applied condensed phases, thermochemistry applied to
typical metallurgical processes, graphical representations of equilibria,
binary and ternary phase diagrams, heterogeneous equilibrium, behavior
of solutions, standard states and electrochemical thermodynamics. As far
as the text is concerned, we will proceed through 2, 7 to 14 chapters in
the textbook, but we will spends more time on some chapters than the
others. |

Course
Outline: An upper level course designed for seniors and/or
graduate students. This course is aimed at understanding
of metal extraction based on first principles,
the application of thermodynamics, fluid flow, and heat and mass
transfer to the design and operation of common chemical metallurgical
processes.
Pyro-, Hydro-, and Electro-metallurgical processes involved in
extraction of ferrous and non- ferrous metals, application of
fundamental concepts to selected topics in iron and steelmaking, and the
roasting, smelting, refining of non-ferrous metals such as copper, lead,
zinc, aluminum and magnesium are covered. Laboratory experiments on
selected topics will be conducted. Computer process calculations and
process flow sheets will be analyzed. |

MTE 476: Physical Ceramics |
|
Text Book:
Introduction to Ceramics, by
Kingery, Bowen and Uhlmann |
|
Course Outline:
This course is intended to
give a broad review of science and engineering aspects of high
temperature materials, ceramics. It is structured to teach students the
properties, processing, and chemistry of ceramic materials. Topics
include ceramic raw materials, refractories, thermal properties,
mechanical properties, processing, advanced ceramics, and etc. As far as
the text is concerned, we will proceed through the chapters, in the
textbook , but we will spent more time on some chapters than the others. |

MTE 680: Phase
Diagrams |
|
Text Book: R. G. Reddy,
Metallurgy Lectures: Phase Diagrams
(Thermodynamics and Construction), Presented at MHO, Hoboken,
Belgium, 1992. |
|
Course Outline:
This course is intended to
give broad review of principles of phase equilibria; the Gibbs phase
rule; chemical potentials; estimation of entropy, enthalpy and heat of
fusion and experimental methods in determination of phase diagrams. the
constructions of phase diagrams and determination of thermodynamic data
from phase diagrams are covered. Stability diagrams construction:
metal-sulfur-oxygen systems for pyrometallurgical processes and Eh-pH
diagrams for hydrometallurgical processes are presented. Finally,
ternary systems, relationship between phase diagrams and thermodynamic
data and phase and composition determinations, and cooling paths during
cooling of the ternary melts are covered. Computer calculation of phase
