Lecture 1.0 Computer Basics
What is in a computer?
Computers do some pretty
impressive things!
CFD Modeling
Flow Sheet Simulation
Computer is a simple machine,
in principle!
Add
Subtract
Count
Switching
Pass information for one place to another
CPU to RAM
Bus = Communication with Equipment
Hard Drive / RAM
At the circuit level Computers
use Binary Math;
a switch is either on or off
Instructions in Binary math = Machine
Language
What is Hexadecimal math?
What is inside the Computer?
What are these Components?
Computer Components - I
Mother Board
Memory (RAM) (128 mbyte, 256 mbyte,
512 mbyte, 1024 mbyte)
Serial Communications Bus
CPU with math coprocessor and memory
cache (512 k byte)
Battery
Clock = counting circuit
Computer Components - II
Connections for
Key Board
Mouse
Hard Disk Drive (20-120 Giga byte)
Floppy Drive (2 Mega byte)
Zip Drive (100/250 Mega byte)
CD Rom (650 Mega byte)
DVD (4.7 Giga byte)
Video Card that Drives Monitor (analogue)
Sound Card that Drives Speakers (analogue)
Modem Card (digital)
Ethernet Card(digital)
A-to-D/D-to-A Card = Data Acquisition Card
IEEE bus = external communications

Chip Feature Scaling
What does a ChE need to know
to work in materials processing?
Materials Nomenclature
Materials are High Purity Chemicals
Silicon = 99.9999% pure
Structure is Important
Defects in the Structure are Important
Trace Impurities Play a Critical Role
Where they are in the structure is also
critical
