A departure from the classical approach
Stephanopoulos’ book is, in many ways, a major departure from the classical approach of teaching process dynamics and control:
1. It integrates the treatment of chemical and biological process dynamics and control, from the molecular networks to macroscopic phenomena.
2. All aspects of modeling, analysis, and design of dynamic processes and control systems are in the time domain, which is their natural setting. It also includes computer-aided simulation of “inherent” and “forced” dynamics in the time domain for linear and nonlinear processes.
