CY6251 - Engineering Chemistry - II Syllabus

UNIT I WATER TECHNOLOGY 9
Introduction to boiler feed water-requirements-formation of deposits in steam boilers and heat
exchangers- disadvantages (wastage of fuels, decrease in efficiency, boiler explosion)
prevention of scale formation -softening of hard water -external treatment zeolite and
demineralization - internal treatment- boiler compounds (phosphate, calgon, carbonate,
colloidal) - caustic embrittlement-boiler corrosion-priming and foaming- desalination of brackish
water –reverse osmosis.
UNIT II ELECTROCHEMISTRY AND CORROSION 9
Electrochemical cell - redox reaction, electrode potential- origin of electrode potential- oxidation
potential- reduction potential, measurement and applications - electrochemical series and its
significance - Nernst equation (derivation and problems). Corrosion- causes- factors- typeschemical,
electrochemical corrosion (galvanic, differential aeration), corrosion control - material
selection and design aspects - electrochemical protection – sacrificial anode method and
impressed current cathodic method. Paints- constituents and function. Electroplating of Copper
and electroless plating of nickel.
