This manual gives the answers to problems ~nsted at the end of
each chapter in the text "Principles of Extractive Metallurgy". In
order to save space complete derivation of the answers have not been
given. In cases where the procedure is obvious, the manual gives
only the final answer . In other cases a few steps in the derivation
are indicated .
Before assigning a problem, the instructor should familiarise
himself with it , and make sure that he himself can solve it . Some
problems are a bit tricky, and involve some intricate thinking . On
the other hand, the problems may serve as good starting points for
further discussions on the topics involved .
Owing to difficulties in accurate reading of thermodynamic
graphs and inaccuracy in arithemetic calculations various students
may get slightly different numerical answers, without this being
regarded as errors . In a few cases the problems as given contain
too much or too little information . These cases are pointed out in
the manual , and in the latter cases the missing information is
estimated . A few misprints that occur in the first printing of the
text are also pointed out . Although the author has used great care
in solving the problems he can not guarantee that mistakes do not
occur, and he should be grateful for information from instructors
either about errors or misprints in the problems or in the solution
manual.
