Transfer Function of a Control System
Process
Typically,
a system (process) has one or more inputs and one output, which can be represented by a block, as shown in Figure below. Inputs Output
PROCESS
Typical representation of the process
In
the case of a process description/model, the concept input is closely connected with the concept output. what enters input and what exits is called output.

What is Transfer Function?
A transfer function is a mathematical relationship between the output of a control system and its input: for a linear system. is the Laplace transform of the output divided by the Laplace transform of the input under conditions of zero initial-energy storage. function is a mathematical representation of the relation between the input and output of a LTI (Linear Time-Invariant) system.

If
the complex Laplace variable is s, then we generally denote the transfer function of a system as either G(s) or H(s). If the system input is X(s), and the system output is Y(s), then the transfer function can be defined as such:
X(s)
G(s)
G(s) / H(s)
Y(s)

function G(s) or H(s) = Response or output / Forcing or input = Y (s) / X (s)
If
we know the input to a given system, and we have the transfer function of the system, we can solve for the system output by multiplying input and transfer function Transfer Function Description Forcing or input Step function Impulse response Sinusoidal response

error
Some may expand
5s + 16 F(s) = (s + 2)2 (s + 5)
as
A B F(s) = + 2 (s + 2) s + 5
This is not valid in general. It should be expanded as
A B C F(s) = + + 2 (s + 2) s + 2 s + 5
