Thermodynamics of the steam-engine and other heat-engines (1898)
Peabody, Cecil Hobart, 1855-1934 · New York, Wiley · leaf 233
he weight of the material in the cylinder increasesand its physical properties change, so that the line will notbe a true isothermal. The fact that there is air in excessmakes it probable that these changes of weight and propertieswill be insignificant. On the other hand, it is not probablethat in… … Fig. 51. The diagram from an engine of this type is shown byFig. 51, which appears to show an introduction of fuel forone-eighth or one-seventh of the working stroke. It is prob-able that the compression and the expansion after the cessa-tion of the fuel supply are not really adiabatic, though…
