I started a power point (PP) presentation gathering all the equations of the Dechamps et al. Precipitation Kinetics Model. The PP is separated 3 main sections: homogeneous precipitation, precipitation on dislocations and precipitation hardening. Each section has its own set of governing equations. Each governing equations has certain variables and describes a specific process in the model. Therefore, it is my job for this presentation to figure out the knowns and unknowns of each equation, while describing what the equations mean physically.
I'm having a little bit of difficulty with the thermodynamics, but I am searching for the root paper and have found it at school. So, I will find that tomorrow morning.
There are 3 different books I am using to help me learn the physical meaning of all these equations.
1. The Science and Engineering of Materials by Donald R. Askeland. 2nd Edition
2.Growth and Coarsening: Ripening in Material Processing by L. Ratke & P.W. Voorhees
3. Kinetics of Materials by R. Balluffi, S. Allen, & W. Carter.
First section of homogeneous precipitation is half way done, but i need to understand what is physically happening. Hence I need to find the Aaronson article.
