7 Preface to The Ninth Edition I am pleased to present the Ninth Edition (Two Colours) of this standard treatise on large size paper to enable the reader to handle the book comfortably. The warm reception which the previous editions and reprints of this book have enjoyed all over India and abroad, has been a matter of great satisfaction to me. The entire book has been thoroughly revised ; besides adding a large number of Additional/Typical Worked Examples in various chapters. It is hoped that the book in this comprehensive and complete form will prove to be of immense use for the students preparing various Universities and Competitive Examinations (e.g., UPSC, GATE etc.). The author s thanks are due to his wife Ramesh Rajput for extending all cooperation during preparation and proof reading of this revised manuscript. Any suggestions for the improvement of this book will be thankfully acknowledged and incorporated in the next edition. R.K. Rajput (Author) ( vii )

8 Preface to The First Edition On the subject of Thermal Engineering several books are available in the market but most of them either lack in proper subject treatment or the solved examples are small in number and their solutions are too difficult to understand. The purpose of writing this book is to bridge these gaps and to present such a book to the students which should be easy to understand and assimilate comprehensive treatment of the subject matter in simple, lucid and direct language. The book comprises of 26 Chapters, dealing with Thermodynamics, Heat Engines and Non- Conventional Power Generation. Each chapter contains adequate text supported by simple and self explanatory figures, large number of Worked Examples both in SI and MKS units,, and several. The book will prove to be of great help to the students preparing for engineering degree, A.M.I.E. (India), diploma and other competitive examinations. The author s grateful thanks are due to Smt. Ramesh Rajput (wife) for extending full co-operation during the preparation of the manuscript. The author is also thankful to Mr. Rakesh Syal for drawing neat diagrams for this book. In the end, the author wishes to express his grateful thanks to M/s Laxmi Publications for taking extra pains in printing the book at a rapid pace and very systematically. Although every care has been taken to make the book free of errors both in text as well as in solved examples, yet the author shall feel obliged if errors present are brought to his notice. Constructive criticism of the book will be warmly received. R.K. Rajput (Author) ( viii )
