zontal distances are measured from an arbitrary vertical linerepresenting entropy at 32° F., and values of entropy are given as valuesbeyond that point, while the temperatures are measured above absolutezero. Horizontal lines are isothermals, vertical lines adiabatics. The use-fulness of entropy in… … 574 HEAT. The Carnot Cycle in the Temperature-Entropy Diagram. —Let a pound of gas having a temperature Ti and entropy E be subjected to thefour operations described above. (1) Ti beingconstant, heat (area aABc, Fig. 137) is added andthe entropy increases from A to B\ isothermalexpansion. (2) No…
