This book on Agricultural process Engineering traits the basic concepts of various unit operations involved in agricultural processing technology in a scientifically rigorous yet concise manner and can be used as a textbook in undergraduate courses and may also be used to assist postgraduate students, research scholars, field workers and process/design engineers in acquiring thorough knowledge and proficiency in the field of specialization. it is equally relevant to those in the food industry who desire a greater understanding of the principles of the food processes with which they work. This text is written from a quantitative and mathematical perspective to give readers the confidence to use mathematical and quantitative analyses of food processes. The book contains about 200 well graded solved and more than 150 unsolved problems divided into four chapters covering all major fields of agricultural process engineering. In order to make the book relevant and practical oriented the authors have drawn problems heavily from question papers of various competitive examinations (ARS, NET, GATE, etc.), manuals, bulletins, research journals and other possible sources. Attempts have been made to introduce SI system as far as practicable. It amply serves a widely felt need of a suitable and comprehensive book that will be an asset to the students and engineers engaged in agricultural processing as well as in designing the farm structures and planning the projects associated with agricultural processing industries.
