Application development activity is becoming more and more complex and tedious day-by-day as the customers’ requirements are ever changing. To address their needs, the IT industry is focusing on newer ways of doing things and providing both cost and time advantage to the customers. Therefore, all of you who wish to be in the IT Industry and service the IT customers need to think innovatively and be ready to accept the change. If you have done C, now it is time to move on to C++. C++ is a super set of C language. It provides the C programmers the flavor of Object Orientation. With its object-oriented programmMing features like encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism, C++ offers a number of benefits over the C language. The book titled Object-Oriented Programming with C++ is exclusively designed as per the syllabus of III semester B.E. (Computer Science & Engineering and Information Science Engineering) course framed by the Visveswaraiah Technological University, Belgaum. This book is to teach the students object-oriented programming concepts and C++. This book is written in simple and easily understandable style. The information provided in the book is also helpful for B.E., B.Sc., BCA, MCA and M.Tech students of all universities. This book contains 14 chapters; each chapter begins with a well-defined set of objectives, dis-cusses the various concepts with the sufficient number of Example Programs, summarizes and ends with exercises and multiple choice questions. The book provides more than 130 C++ programs which are executed on Windows with Turbo C++ compiler and Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. All C-style programs are run on Turbo C++ IDE and the new-style C++ programs are executed on Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. All programs of chapter 14 are developed and executed on Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition. It is important that you will use the right compiler and understand the working of each program. I am more than happy to receive your suggestions and comments for further improvement of the book.

Energy costs impact the profitability of virtually all industrial processes. Stressing how plants use power, and how that power is actually generated, this book provides a clear and simple way to understand the energy usage in various processes, as well as methods for optimizing these processes using practical hands-on simulations and a unique approach that details solved problems utilizing actual plant data. Invaluable information offers a complete energy-saving approach essential for both the chemical and mechanical engineering curricula, as well as for practicing engineers.
