Linearization
• So far, we have emphasized linear models
• Can be directly transformed into TF models
• Most physical processes and physical models are nonlinear.
- But over a small range of operating conditions, the behavior
may be approximately linear.
- Linear approximations can be useful
- Especially for purpose of analysis
• Approximate linear models can be obtained analytically by a
method called “linearization”.
• It is based on a Taylor Series Expansion of a nonlinear function
around a specified operating point.
19
Linearization
• Consider a nonlinear, dynamic model relating two process
variables, u and y:
• Note that the partial derivative terms are actually constants because
they have been evaluated at the nominal operating point (at SS),
• In terms of deviation variables:

Example I
• Consider the stirred-tank blending system example:
• Assumptions:
• V = const & x2 = 1
• Derive TFs relating output variable (x) to input variables (w1, w2, x1)
