    The book underlines the objective of the understanding of the physical phenomena involved and the ability to formulate and to solve typical problems. With a view to help in better understanding of the phenomena of mass transfer, an effort has also been made to identify the similarities in both qualitative and quantitative approach between heat and mass transfer.The subject matter has been developed from scratch to a sufficiently advanced stage in a logical and coherent manner with neat illustrations and solved examples. Problems and solutions appended to each chapter should further help for better comprehension of the subjects. Properly designed experiments included in the book should further help in the teaching of basic principles.

    

    

    The book acts as a ready reckoner for students to brush up their basics and memorize important facts, figures, and concepts. About the Author: A P Bhardwaj A.P. Bhardwaj is an author-trainer-tutor for CLAT, SET, LSAT, and other law entrance examinations. He has authored more than 10 books for various competitive examinations. He is a regular contributor in the leading newspapers and monthly journals for all competitive examinations. He runs his own training institute named Innovation in Chandigarh.

    It then provides several well developed solved examples which illustrate the various dimensions of the concept under discussion. A set of practice problems is also included to encourage the student to test his mastery over the subject. The book would serve as an excellent text for both Degree and Diploma students of all engineering disciplines. AMIE candidates would also find it most useful.

    and abroad, this reader-friendly yet authoritative volume bridges the gap between circuits and new electromagnetics material. Ulaby begins coverage with transmission lines, leading readers from familiar concepts into more advanced topics and applications. Includes six new sections on Waveguides and Cavity Resonators, replacing the material on geometric optics in Chapter 8. Presents new Technology Briefs on relevant topics, connecting concepts in the book to everyday applications found in real life, such as liquid crystal displays, the laser, GPS, and x-ray tomography. Includes an interactive CD-ROM that allows readers to gain physical intuition about electromagnetics. A useful reference for engineers.

    The aim of the book is to enable students to write effective C programs.The book starts with an introduction to programming in general followed by a detailed introduction to C programming. It then delves into a complete analysis of various constructs of C such as decision control and looping statements, functions, arrays, strings, pointers, structure and union, file management, and preprocessor directives. It also provides a separate chapter on linked list detailing the various kinds of linked lists and how they are used to allocate memory dynamically.A highly detailed pedagogical approach is followed throughout the book, which includes plenty of examples, figures, programming tips, keywords, and end-chapter exercises which make this book an ideal resource for students to master and fine-tune the art of writing C programs.

    KEY TOPICS: Coverage begins with an optional review of key concepts--such as properties of compound semiconductor, quantum mechanics, semiconductor statistics, carrier transport properties, optical processes, and junction theory--then progress gradually through more advanced topics. The Second Edition has been both updated and expanded to include the recent developments in the field.

    Last 20 years' (1993-2012) chapter-wise solved papers are included. Each chapter consist objective types of questions with their objective answers. Detailed hints solutions are provided at the end of every chapter with their suitable figures, chemical reactions atomic structures, etc. for understanding the concepts well. Last 5 years' (2007-2012) solved papers are covered given at the end of the book with detailed hints solutions for more help the students.
