o thedecrease from E to F, so that the sum-mation of changes for the entire cycle gives zero. Fig. 24 represents the simplified ideal diagram of a hot-airengine, in which by the aid of a regenerator the adiabatic lines of Carnots cycle are re-placed by vertical lines withoutaffecting the… … Fig. 24. area and corresponds approxi- mately with that of the actual diagram. The summation of 42 THERMODYNAMICS OF THE STEAM-ENGINE. the change of entropy for the complex cycle is clearly zero, asbefore. But by drawing the adiabatic lines near enough to-gether we may make the perimeter approach…
