Madras Rediscovered - S. Muthiah - Bog - Westland Publications Limited - Plusbog.dk

Madras Rediscovered - S. Muthiah - Bog - Westland Publications Limited - Plusbog.dk

After years abroad – punctuated by occasional visits to a Madras remembered as a leisurely but gracious town of conservative people and large houses with larger ‘gardens’ –S. Muthiah came ‘home’ to a metropolis in 1968-69, but found it essentially unchanged. True, the town he had known had grown bigger, become more populous and acquired an industrial base. But at heart it had remained the charming overgrown village of the 1930s,1940s and 1950s; a leisurely, gracious town with quaint old-world values, that had spread itself out comfortably in its quest to retain the spaciousness of the past. His first assign mentions his return was to prepare ‘copy’ to accompany a street guide to Madras. A brief history of an old British company followed. And out of those quests for information was born an interest in the history of Madras and a need to do his bit to conserve its relics.

From Madras to Chennai - Kim Fleischer Michaelsen - Bog - ted publishing - Plusbog.dk

From Madras to Chennai - Kim Fleischer Michaelsen - Bog - ted publishing - Plusbog.dk

En indisk bydel, præget af hårdt arbejde, håndværk, markeder, boder med kød, frugt, grønsager og blomster. Trods fattigdom sprudler gaderne af liv med legende børn og familier. Bogen er med helsides-fotos i både sort/hvid og farver og skildrer den menneskelige dynamik på gaderne, oplevet og fastholdt gennem et halvt århundrede. George Town er et af de ældste kvarterer i den indiske by Chennai, tidligere kendt som Madras. Efter studentereksamen i 1969 tog Kim Fleischer Michaelsen ud på en dengang klassisk rejse for at opdage verden: Med tog og bus gennem Tyrkiet, Iran, Afghanistan og Pakistan til Syd-Indien, hvor han blev fascineret af byen Madras, som han har besøgt ti gange siden da, senest i 2019.

A Judge in Madras - Caroline Keen - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A Judge in Madras - Caroline Keen - Bog - C Hurst & Co Publishers Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The memoirs of Sidney Wadsworth are a vital source on Britain''s colonial history during the first half of the twentieth century. Recounting his long and distinguished career in the Indian Civil Service, Wadsworth paints an entertaining picture of the many places in Madras province where he served, with illuminating portraits of the important British and Indian figures with whom he associated. Here we see through his eyes the growth of Indian nationalism and the rise of Gandhi, and the impact of the Second World War on Madras. Reliving his journey from junior member of the ICS to High Court judge, Wadsworth displays a shrewd acumen and a keen eye for the ridiculous. By no means uncritical of British rule, he emerges from these pages as a conscientious, humane and reasonable official--unlike some of his contemporaries--and one able to accept the huge changes overtaking India. The physical and moral demands of his daily routine reveal the commitment of an administration that, for all its failings, steadily pursued the goal of good and impartial government. Also featuring excerpts from the memoirs of other civil servants then in the province, ''A Judge in Madras'' will fascinate anyone interested in the colonial encounter.

Revival: Southern India (1936) - Gilbert Slater - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book deals firstly with the economic and social conditions of life among the villagers, the artisans, and other workers in cities and towns of South India, and also with the new issues raised in India during the most momentous years of its history since the mutiny – the commercial and financial disturbances following the war, the sudden appearance of aggressive Trade Unionism, the famines of 1918 and 1920, the rise of the Home Rule agitation and the Non-Co-operation movement, and the coming into operation of the new Constitution of 1919. The author, who went to India in 1915 as Professor of Indian Economics in the University of Madras, was quickly brought into contact with heads of departments of the Provincial Government, was nominated by Lord Willingdon to the Madras Legislative Council, served in the Indian Board of Agriculture, and stayed on for a year in charge of the Madras Publicity Office.

Process Intensification - Ramamurthy (iit Madras Nagarajan - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Process Intensification - Ramamurthy (iit Madras Nagarajan - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Process Intensification: Faster, Better, Cheaper presents basic concepts and applications of process intensification (PI) and links their common effects across processes. It defines two fundamental parameters, PI factor, and Cost Impact (CI) factor, and uses these to analyze various applications where Process Intensification has been carried out. Process Intensification principles have, in the past, been applied to diverse fields, ranging from biodiesel production to offshore processing, and this book unifies these aspects to identify the common factors that drive process enhancements. Each chapter investigates a specific application, discusses the key PI principles, and includes problem sets and examples. The book also provides case studies and realworld examples throughout the chapters. Features: - Explores Cost Impact of Process Intensification, and their relative magnitudes, as a universal metric - Covers a range of industrial applications, including heat and mass transfer, atomization and comminution, and enhanced oil recovery - Discusses the application of Process Intensification for clean coal technology and environmental remediation - Includes end-of-chapter problems, examples, and case studies The book is intended for senior undergraduate chemical and mechanical engineering students taking courses in Process Design, Process Optimization, Process Synthesis, and Process Intensification. Instructors will be able to utilize Lecture Slides for their course. The eBook+ version includes the following enhancements: - Open-ended essay questions to encourage conceptual thinking and apply new information - Pop-up explanations of selected concepts and terms throughout the chapters - Interactive definition flashcards that summarize key takeaways at the end of the chapter - Quizzes within chapters to help readers refresh their knowledge

Fundamentals of Thermodynamics - K. (iit Madras Ramamurthi - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Fundamentals of Thermodynamics - K. (iit Madras Ramamurthi - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A concise treatment of the fundamentals of thermodynamics is presented in this book. In particular, emphasis is placed on discussions of the second law, a unique feature of thermodynamics, which states the limitations of converting thermal energy into mechanical energy. The entropy function that permits the loss in the potential of a real thermodynamic process to be assessed, the maximum possible work in a process, and irreversibility and equilibrium are deduced from the law through physical and intuitive considerations. They are applicable in mitigating waste heat and are useful for solving energy, power, propulsion and climate-related issues. The treatment is not restricted to properties and functions of ideal gases. The ideal gas assumption is invoked as a limiting case. Reversible paths between equilibrium states are obtained using reversible heat engines and reversible heat pumps between environment and systems to determine the entropy changes and the maximum work. The conditions of thermodynamic equilibrium comprising mechanical, thermal, chemical and phase equilibrium are addressed and the species formed at equilibrium in a chemical reaction at a given temperature and pressure are obtained. The molecular basis for the laws of thermodynamics, temperature, internal energy changes, entropy, reversibility and equilibrium are briefly discussed. The book serves as a reference for undergraduate and graduate students alongside thermodynamics textbooks.
