Fuels and Combustion is a systematic and comprehensive work on a subject that forms an integral part of the undergraduate degree courses in Chemical, Mechanical, Metallurgical and Aeronautical Engineering. While emphasizing the fundamental principles, the book provides a balanced treatment of energy resources, processing of fuels, fundamentals of combustion and combustion appliances. The book takes a different approach by dealing with the topics in an Indian context. The third edition of the book has a completely new introduction, layout and design; new statistics have been added to provide up-to-date information.

This book discusses group and field theories, summarizes the standard model of particle physics, and includes some extensions to the model, such as neutrino masses and CP violation. The book explores grand unified theories, supersymmetry, the general theory of relativity, higher dimensional theories of gravity, and superstring theory. It also introduces various novel ideas and models with extra dimensions and low-scale gravity. The last part of the book covers several specialized topics of astroparticle physics and cosmology, including baryogenesis, dark matter, dark energy, and brane cosmology.
