The entropy analysis given below is… … Fig. 258. of B is sufficient to indicate the thermal characteristics of the fujlgas charge. If the compression is truly adiabalic, BC is thecourse of our tracing-point. If the walls absorb heat there will bea loss of entropy, and the tracing-point will wander to the left.The charge is fired and the…
