distance from the operating point, then the linear model will not be very accurate.

However, for small changes around the operating point the approximation

differentiate the function relating valve pressure tovalve flow. So,

p = 20000q 2 o

dp

dq o

= 40000q 0

At the operating pointq o

= 0.350. Therefore,

dp ∣∣∣qo

= 40000 ×0.350 = 14000

dq o =0.350

This value is the gradient of the tangent to the curve at the operating point.

Therefore,

= 14000

dq o =0.350

δp = 14000δq o

Note that equality has been assumed for the purposes of the linear model. It is

easy to relate a change in pump flow to a change in control voltage because the

relationship islinear and so a linear approximation isnotrequired. So,

Differentiating thisequation w.r.t. v in

yields

=k p

Inthis case
