The Laplace transform of a function f(t), defined for all real numbers t ≥ 0, is
the function F(s), which is a unilateral transform defined by
F(s)=

The transfer function of a linear, time-invariant, differential equation
system is defined as the ratio of the Laplace transform of the output
(response function) to the Laplace transform of the input (driving
function) under the assumption that all initial conditions are zero.
Consider the linear time-invariant system defined by the following
differential equation:
where y is the output of the system and x is the input. The transfer
function of this system is the ratio of the Laplace transformed output
to the Laplace transformed input when all initial conditions are zero,
or
In this speed control system, the plant (controlled system) is the engine and
the controlled variable is the speed of the engine. The difference between the
desired speed and the actual speed is the error signal. The control signal (the
amount of fuel)to be applied to the plant (engine) is the actuating signal. The

Eliminating I1(s) from Equations (6) and (7) and writing Ei(s) in
terms of I2(s), we find the transfer function between Eo(s) and Ei(s)
to be:
Since e’ =0
Applying KVL:
Vi(s)= I(s)[R+1/Cs]+Vo(s)
I(s)=I1(s) +I2(s)
= Vo(s)/R + Vo(s).Cs
