Advanced Viscous Fluid Flow is an in-depth guide to boundary-layer modeling strategies for fluid dynamicists. The book starts by providing the strong theoretical background essential to understand laminar and turbulent boundary layers in a variety of multidimensional viscous problems for steady and unsteady motions and bounded by either hard or porous walls. Particular attention is given to viscous layers engendered in rotating and oscillating flows, especially those driven by wall-normal or wall-tangential injection. Both differential and integral approaches are covered in detail, with numerous illustrations and test cases based on recent developments in the field.This is intended as a graduate textbook on viscous motion with a well-balanced mix of engineering applications. It is also a valuable resource for those in academic or industrial research tackling boundary layers in complex, multidimensional problems.Provides detailed numerical techniques to capture viscous effects in oscillating flow problemsIntroduces new techniques, including momentum-integral equations that significantly reduce errorIncludes exercises and solutions that are provided throughout the book

Digital technology now enables unparalleled functionality and flexibility in the capture, processing, exchange, and output of color images. But harnessing its potential requires knowledge of color science, systems, processing algorithms, and device characteristics-topics drawn from a broad range of disciplines. One can acquire the requisite background with an armload of physics, chemistry, engineering, computer science, and mathematics books and journals- or one can find it here, in the Digital Color Imaging Handbook.Unprecedented in scope, this handbook presents, in a single concise and authoritative publication, the elements of these diverse areas relevant to digital color imaging. The first three chapters cover the basics of color vision, perception, and physics that underpin digital color imaging. The remainder of the text presents the technology of color imaging with chapters on color management, device color characterization, digital halftoning, image compression, color quantization, gamut mapping, computationally efficient transform algorithms, and color image processing for digital cameras.Each chapter is written by world-class experts and largely self-contained, but cross references between chapters reflect the topics' important interrelations. Supplemental materials are available for download from the CRC Web site, including electronic versions of some of the images presented in the book.

This book serves the environmentalists to track the development of photocatalytic materials and technology in the present context and to explore future trends. Photocatalysis is the most influential greener technology being researched, developed and adopted for the treatment of wastewater. The technological advancements in the area of smart hybrid photocatalytic materials have gained momentum in the present era. The rational designing of photocatalytic materials with a multi-pronged approach opens a new chapter for environmental detoxification. Other important aspects relate to the transfer of this nanostructured photocatalytic technology to real backdrops. Harnessing natural solar energy for energy and environmental roles is another crucial criterion in designing photocatalysts.

Agricultural Finance & Cooperation is an essential textbook that covers the complexities of contemporary agriculture by focusing on financial principles, fund procurement, and efficient utilization of funds, as well as cooperative approaches and the history of cooperation. This comprehensive guide is designed to equip students, educators, and practitioners with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the dynamic landscape of agriculture and agricultural finance.The book also discusses the background, function, and purpose of key financial institutions and rural development programs. With the aid of suitable examples, the financial and economic aspects of agricultural development plans, as well as their evaluation methodologies, are clarified. The book provides an in-depth description of farm financial analysis tools, their uses, and their various forms, supported by pertinent evidence. The textbook includes objective questions at the end of the appendices to assess students comprehension.This textbook is ideal for undergraduate and graduate students studying agriculture, financial management, agribusiness, rural development, and related fields. Additionally, it serves as an indispensable resource for agricultural professionals, extension officers, and anyone interested in the sustainable growth and development of agriculture.

Farm Management, Production, and Resource Economics is an essential textbook that demonstrates the significance of economic principles in addressing issues in the agricultural sector. The book focuses on effective farm management, sustainable production techniques, and resource economics. It is structured around the increasing need for farm managers to develop and implement a business plan. This textbook is designed to educate the agricultural professionals of the future, emphasizing the strategic and operational aspects of managing a farm. It covers fundamental farm management decision principles, management functions, and the managers role in production activities and resource management. The book includes rich illustrations and data-driven graphs to enhance the learning experience and simplify complex concepts. Additionally, objective questions are provided in the appendices to assess students understanding.This textbook is not only based on the syllabus of the subject Farm Management, Production and Resource Economics in the B.Sc (Ag.) Hon. course offered in State Agricultural Universities according to the ICAR recommended V Dean Committee but also beneficial for Masters, PhD, and other management students. I believe students and agricultural professionals will find this textbook helpful in improving the effectiveness, objectivity, and success of their decisions.
