OBJECTIVES

        • The student should be conversant with the principles electrochemistry,    electrochemical cells, emf and applications of emf measurements.

        • Principles of corrosion control

        • Chemistry of Fuels and combustion

        • Industrial importance of Phase rule and alloys

        • Analytical techniques and their importance.
