This book covers synthesis, characterization, stability, heat transfer and applications of nanofluids. It includes different types of nanofluids, their preparation methods as well as its effects on the stability and thermophysical properties of nanofluids. It provides a discussion on the mechanism behind the change in the thermal properties of nanofluids and heat transfer behaviour. It presents the latest information and discussion on the preparation and advanced characterization of nanofluids. It also consists of stability analysis of nanofluids and discussion on why it is essential for the industrial application. The book provides a discussion on thermal boundary layer properties in convection. Future directions for heat transfer applications to make the production and application of nanofluids at industrial level are also discussed.

The feedback control of nonlinear differential and algebraic equation systems (DAEs) is a relatively new subject. Developing steadily over the last few years, it has generated growing interest inspired by its engineering applications and by advances in the feedback control of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs). This book-the first of its kind-introduces the reader to the inherent characteristics of nonlinear DAE systems and the methods used to address their control, then discusses the significance of DAE systems to the modeling and control of chemical processes. Within a unified framework, Control of Nonlinear Differential Algebraic Equation Systems presents recent results on the stabilization, output tracking, and disturbance elimination for a large class of nonlinear DAE systems. Written at a basic mathematical level-assuming some familiarity with analysis and control of nonlinear ODEs-the authors focus on continuous-time systems of differential and algebraic equations in semi-explicit form. Beginning with background material about DAE systems and their differences from ODE systems, the book discusses generic classes of chemical processes, feedback control of regular and non-regular DAE systems, control of systems with disturbance inputs, the connection of the DAE systems considered with singularly perturbed systems, and finally offers examples that illustrate the application of control methods and the advantages of using high-index DAE models as the basis for controller design. Mathematicians and engineers will find that this book provides unique, timely results that also clearly documents the relevance of DAE systems to chemical processes.

This book is based on the backdrop of the social system in India i.e caste-system. This book may be the first of it's kind which describes the cause, prevailing challenges and its solution wrapped in a beautiful story. The central character being a journalist finds the caste system carrying a lot of questions. How did it originate? How it flourished? Do our religious books really talk about the same system we are going through? How can one know his caste, if he/she is an orphan? Which Hindu book confirms caste system to be hereditary? Which book confirms the hierarchy of Brahmin being the top of order and Shudras the lowest? Or, Are we living in illusion? What if caste system is not hereditary? If caste system is a system, what are its basic rules? Who coined the rules? What are the solutions for problems arising due to caste system? Can we implement any solution which satisfies all? In search of all these questions Journalist Gaurav meets three different interesting characters, one being advocate Chitra. A group of four is formed who decides to challenge the current caste system. In order to challenge the system they have to face a Shastrath with Hindu Religious teacher Shankracharya. What happens afterwards is the gist of the story. This book unfolds many unknown facts about the caste system, & also suggests the best way to deal with it. The readers will not only find a beautiful story but will get benefited by the knowledge it shares.

Is Army and civilians only used as vote bank or a comfort tool of politician? Why do politicians never actually answer the questions they've been asked? Why do politician use the martyrdom of an army for the power of their chair? Why no one arise questions to politicians about solider's martyrdom? After all, how long will women continue to fight for their basic rights? These are the questions which need to be asked with each and every so called representives of our country...... Welcome to 'No Candle Use Sandal, ' a story about Shankara and his love, family, and his concern about world youth problem. Love marriages always have its own stories but a solider's love marriage and their obstacles are beyond the imagination. In this book a solider have their own set of question about the love, about the ones who are against
