The second edition presents some of the material in a slightly different sequence. Fifteen additional years of teaching experience have convinced me that it is easier for the students to understand the time, Laplace, and frequency techniques if both the dynamics and the control are presented together for each domain.
The handbook has been reorganized. The first group of section focuses on chemical and physical property data and the fundamentals of chemical engineering. The second and largest group of sections deals with processes, generally divided as heat transfer operations, distillasion, kinetics, liquid-liquid, liquid solid and so on.
