Science for Materials 2

Synopsis: 1: A chemistry tutorial on reaction kinetics and thermochemistry. Shows several experiments and includes reinforcement of diagrams used in the course text.
2: Looks at the supply of electrical power from the power station to the domestic consumer, in terms of electro-magnetic interaction. Explains the workings of an alternator and a transformer.
3: A case study of materials failure, showing the techniques used by a materials engineer to investigate the sudden failure of a set of bearings from a rolling mill. Various optical, chemical and electronic analyses are demonstrated before the mystery is finally solved.

Notes: NB. As of May 2016 Open University Worldwide are no longer distributing DVDs. They have posted this message on their website: ‘Unfortunately Open University Worldwide Limited has decided that product sales are no longer viable given the reduced funding to Higher Education institutions and diminishing demand for the products we have traditionally stocked. At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
