Model Requires Linearization?

YES

Linearize Model Using Taylor Approximation:

f [ x1 (t), x2 (t),...] f (x1 (0), x2 (o),...)
1

Note:

NO
Define: 1. Deviation Variables Y(t) = y(t) y(o), etc. 2. Gain (K) and Time ( ) Constants

f + x1 f + x2

[ x (t)
x1 (0), x2 (0),...

x1 (0)] x2 (0)] + ...

xi (0) = xi

[ x (t)
2 x (0) x (0)

Apply Laplace to Differential Equation (to change from time domain to s domain):

F(s) = L { f (t)} =

f (t)e

st

dt

Identify Transfer Functions, and Manipulated and Disturbance Variables:

Invert Model (in Laplace Domain) to Obtain Time Model: Y(t) = L-1{Y(s)}

Y(s) = G1(s)X1(s) + G2(s)X2(s)

where G1(s) and G2(s) are the transfer functions. Note: Check for dead time

Apply Final Value Theorem/ Study and Analyze Process Dynamics:

lim f (t) = lim sF(s)

t s o
