A transfer function relates inputs to outputs in the Laplace domain. In particular, the Laplace domain relationship between a manipulated input and output is called a process transfer function.
Consider an nth order differential equation,
Equation 3.22a
![]()
Since we are assuming that the model is based on deviation variables, and that the system is initially at steady state, the initial conditions are
Equation 3.22b
![]()
Taking the Laplace transform of each term,
Solving for Y(s), we find
The ratio of polynomials is called the ...
