With the ever-increasing population need of the hour is to feed the citizenry by suitably processing and preserving the excess food so that spoilage is minimum. Thus, to keep pace with the accelerating need of food preservation, food technology is making incredible growth around the globe. The spotlight of the book Food Engineering: Process and Technology is on - treatment, quantification and design which provide scholars and students with the skills to identify the threats and protect against them.

Newton thought of light rays to be streams of tiny particles called corpuscles which cause sensation of light upon striking the retina of our eyes. But how can such corpuscles coming from two different sources interfere to give dark and bright fringes unless they kill each other at the site of dark fringe? This probably led Thomas Young to say that light is some kind of wave motion. But what kind? The answer to such a question came from Maxwell who showed that it is electromagnetic wave motion. However, his electromagnetic theory failed to explain black-body spectrum and photoelectric effect. It was through the works of Planck, Einstein and Compton, it became clear that in these experiments light behaves as particles called photon, which are different from Newton's corpuscles. The three facets of light corpuscles, waves and quanta, as viewed by the three great physicists Newton, Maxwell and Einstein are the subject matter of this book. The author has tried to show that these three are related in the sense that one can pass on from the first to the second and therefrom to the third by certain prescriptions. The physics of all the three are presented in great detail in three chapters.

While designing an electrical substation, engineers face several questions: What is the load the substation has to cater for? What can be the future increases in the load? What are the voltages at which power will be received and fed? Will the load be industrial or domestic? How can one decide if the substation will be indoor-type, or located outdoors? Have the environmental factors been taken into account? What are the safety requirements for different types of substation?  Electrical System Designing Made Simple answers all these questions and comprehensively covers all the aspects of designing an electrical substation. The subjects include:* General aspects of substation designing* Transformers* Power control centre* HT and LT cable* Bus-duct* Capacitor bank* Grounding* Battery* Diesel generating setThe Software: The user-friendly software can perform all the basic calculations required while designing a substation. It helps the user prepare the specifications which are to be attached with a tender document. The 'Library' feature lets the user store details of various electrical equipments from different manufacturers. Because there are in-built formulas, no calculation needs to be done on paper, and all the calculations can be printed.

Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate engineering students interested in learning the fundamental aspects of aircraft propulsion. Basic theory based on the principle of thermodynamics and aerodynamics is covered extensively. Emphasis is placed on precise and logical presentation of the basic concepts and principles. The text flows in a gradual manner to instill confidence in the minds of students. The derivation of fundamental equations and principles have been kept at an uncomplicated mathematical level. Several examples are provided in each chapter to allow students to assimilate and reinforce the ideas developed. Emphasis is laid on problem solving techniques. The rudiments of the design, operation and behaviour of individual components of gas turbine engine are included. Typical values of design parameters, experimental data and examples of actual engines are also included to help the reader appreciate the subject matter.

The present book deals with various types of composite materials, failure of laminates, characterization of composites, analysis of laminates under static and dynamic loads, higher order theories for laminates and optimization of composite laminates. Unlike most of the books available in the market that are limited to discussing classical laminate behavior, this book offers composite material behavior and analysis along with the optimization technique. It includes higher order theory for the analysis and discusses optimization of composites under different loading environments.  The contents are well organized and discuss from the very beginning the need for composite materials, various kinds of fiber and matrix materials, their characteristics, failure of the lamina under axial and transverse loads, the behavior of the laminate, followed by optimization and manufacturing of composites. The characterizations of composites are discussed in detail. A good number of worked out examples have been provided in each chapter to illustrate the technique discussed in that chapter. Unsolved exercises have also been given at the end of each chapter for the students to work on. This textbook is designed for undergraduate/graduate programs in aerospace, aeronautical, civil, mechanical engineering and applied mechanics. It can also be used for first and second semester postgraduate students pursuing a course on composite materials and analysis.

Composite Materials and Structural Analysis

Students and researchers in plant breeding and molecular applications, and those interested in innovative biological research realized the need for comprehensive knowledge in Quantitative Genetics. Software packages have also grown concomitantly providing ready-made path to analysis of data generated. But users feel despondent as their knowledge is deficient to understand the logic or process steps in such software. They want more knowledge in Quantitative Genetics and seek quality books. This book aims to answer those needs. Its organization and coverage of content differ from the pattern in well-known books on the subject. The book is unique in its effort to carry along readers with no specific mathematical/ statistical background, especially those who specialize in Agriculture, Biology and related fields, to a high level of quality experimentation employing quantitative genetic tools. With an introduction explaining how contemporary developments in the fields of genetics, statistics and particularly probability theory blended to evolve the subject of quantitative genetics, the book provides practical details of probability distributions and their application in genetic investigations. Specifically designed plant breeding experiments are used to explain and interpret various mating designs and their specific utility. In the process, definition of additive effect and additive genetic variance are defined anew and the fallacy in their formulation found in illustrious treatises by Mather, Jinks and Falconer is corrected. In analyzing genetic variation, Fisher's average excess and effect of gene substitution are used probably for the first time in a book.
