      Treatise on Analysis, Volume 10–VIII provides information pertinent to the study of the most common boundary problems for partial differential equations. This book presents the study of Cauchy's problem in its most elementary form. Comprised of one chapter, this volume begins with an overview of Hilbert-von Neumann spectral theory and explores all possible boundary conditions related to spectral theory. This text then examines the link of Cauchy's problem with the behavior of the equation's characteristics. This book discusses as well the case of linear elliptic operators. The reader is also introduced to Sobolev spaces and some of their generalizations that provide an essential tool in the study of these elliptic problems, and their manipulation requires delicate upper bounds to obtain the best possible results. This book is a valuable resource for mathematicians.

      Experimental Chemical Thermodynamics, Volume 1: Combustion Calorimetry covers the advances in calorimetric study of combustion, with particular emphasis on the accuracy of the method. This book is composed of 18 chapters, and begins with a presentation of the units and physical constants with the basic units of measurements. The succeeding chapters deal with basic principles of combustion calorimetry, emphasizing the underlying basic principles of measurement. These topics are followed by discussions on calibration of combustion calorimeters, test and auxiliary substances in combustion calorimetry, strategies in the calculation of standard-state energies of combustion from the experimentally determined quantities, and assignment of uncertainties. The final chapter considers the history of combustion calorimetry. This book will prove useful to combustion chemists and engineers, as well as researchers in the allied fields.

      General Engineering Science in SI Units, Volume 2 covers the Engineering Science content of the General Course in Engineering, corresponding mainly to the requirements of the syllabus for the second year of a two-year course. This book discusses the resultant of a number of coplanar, concurrent forces; average velocity during uniformly accelerated motion; Newton's first law of motion; and graphical representation of the work done by a variable force. The load-extension graphs for brittle materials; coefficient of linear expansion of a solid; and electromotive force and potential difference are also elaborated. This publication likewise covers the magnetic effect of an electric current; rotation of a coil in a uniform magnetic field; and advantages and limitations of P.M.M.C. instruments. This volume is useful to students during the earlier years of CGLI Technician Courses and other engineering courses.
