Why the transfer function is represented in S Domain?

AI Thread Summary
The transfer function is represented in the S domain because it simplifies the mathematical analysis of control systems, making it easier to handle complex equations. Working in the S domain allows for algebraic manipulation rather than differential equations, which can be more cumbersome. The discussion acknowledges that while the Z domain is also used, the S domain is preferred for continuous systems due to its efficiency. Participants express agreement on the advantages of using the S domain for analysis. Overall, the S domain representation streamlines the process of control system design and analysis.

Hi all,

I would like to know why the Transfre function of the system is represented in S Domain instead of doing all the math in time domain itself. I studied a course on control systems and i wonder why s- domain is taken instead of other domains like Z- domain and others.
Please refer belwo for an example of transfer function representation

Thanks in advance.

The math in the transformed domain is just algebra. This makes it significantly simpler than doing it in the oroginal domain.

Thanks for answering Orodruin. I totally agree with you and i am in same impression about this. I asked this question to find if there is any specific reason other than this.
 
I think it's easist first to watch a short vidio clip I find these videos very relaxing to watch .. I got to thinking is this being done in the most efficient way? The sand has to be suspended in the water to move it to the outlet ... The faster the water , the more turbulance and the sand stays suspended, so it seems to me the rule of thumb is the hose be aimed towards the outlet at all times .. Many times the workers hit the sand directly which will greatly reduce the water...
