A mathematical model of a dynamic system is, defined as a set of equations that represents the dynamics of the system accurately. A system may be represented in many ways and, therefore, may have many mathematical models, depending on one’s perspective. ‘The dynamics of many systems, whather they are mechanical, electrical, and thermal may be described in terms of differential equations. Such differential equations may be obtained by using physical laws governing a particular system —for example, Newton's laws for mechanical systems and laws of thermodynamics for thermal systams, We must always keep in mind that deriving reasonable mathematical models is the most important part of the entire analysis of control systems. 20.2 Module Objectives ‘After working through this module, you will be able to: 4.

Depending on the system and ‘circumstances, one mathematical model may be better suited than other models. For example, in ‘optimal control problems, it is advantageous to use state-space representations. On the other hand, for the transient-response or frequency-response analysis. of single-input, single-output, linear, time-invariant systems, the transfer-function representation may be more convenient than any other. Once a mathematical model of a system is obtained, various analytical and computer tools can be used for analysis and synthesis purposes.

Air lacks tut ing property and always contain water vapor. 3, The normal operating pressure of pneumatic systems is low compared to hydraulic systems. 4, Output power of pneumatic system are considerably less than those of hydraulic systems. ‘Accuracy of pneumatic actuators ls poor at low velocities. 6. The extemal leakage is permissible to a certain extent, but internal leakage must be avoided because the effective pressure difference is small 7. No retum pipes are required in pneumatic systems when air is used. Itis discharge to the atmosphere. 8. Normal operating temperature for pneumatic systems is 5°C - 60°C and can be operated in range of 0°C - 200°C. Pneumatic systems are insensitive lo temperature changes. 9.
