Find transfer function in relation to the disturbance

In summary, the conversation discusses a first order system with a transfer function of HP(s) = KP/(TP*s + 1), and the use of a standard P controller with a transfer function of HR(s) = KR. The system is also affected by a disturbance and is analyzed in a closed-loop. The closed-loop transfer function is calculated as H0(s) = (KR*KP)/(TP*s + 1 + KR*KP). The transfer function in relation to the disturbance is given as H0v(s) = (KP)/(TP*s + 1 + KR*KP), but the process for calculating this is unclear. The solution involves tracing the path of the disturbance through the block diagram to the output.

Suppose you are given a first order system whose transfer function is HP(s) = KP/(TP*s + 1).

Now, you want to control this system using a standard P (proportional) controller whose transfer function is HR(s) = KR (a proportionality coefficient).

There is also disturbance that acts upon this system and the system in analyzed in closed-loop (feed-back loop).

If you calculate the closed-loop transfer function, H0(s) = (KR*KP)/(TP*s + 1 + KR*KP ).

I am also given the transfer function in relation to the disturbance, which is H0v(s) = (KP)/(TP*s + 1 + KR*KP ), but I don't understand how this is calculated.

This is the system:

The question is: how do I calculate the transfer function in relation to the disturbance?

Thanks!

Take your finger and trace the path of the disturbance through your block diagram and think about the path it takes getting to y (the output).
 

1. What is a transfer function in relation to a disturbance?

A transfer function is a mathematical representation of the relationship between the input and output of a system, specifically in the context of a disturbance. It describes how the disturbance affects the output of the system.

2. How is a transfer function used in studying disturbances?

A transfer function is used to analyze and understand the behavior of a system in response to a disturbance. By studying the transfer function, scientists can predict how the disturbance will affect the output of the system and make adjustments to improve its performance.

3. What factors influence the transfer function in relation to a disturbance?

The transfer function can be influenced by a variety of factors, including the type and strength of the disturbance, the characteristics of the system, and any control or feedback mechanisms in place to mitigate the effects of the disturbance.

4. How is a transfer function determined in practical applications?

In practical applications, a transfer function can be determined through experiments or simulations. By measuring the input and output of a system under different disturbance conditions, scientists can generate data to construct a transfer function that accurately describes the relationship between the two.

5. Can a transfer function be used to minimize the effects of a disturbance?

Yes, a transfer function can be used to design control systems that minimize the effects of a disturbance on the output of a system. By understanding how the disturbance affects the system, engineers can develop strategies to counteract its effects and maintain stable and optimal performance.
