A valuable aid for engineers and draughtsmen, this method was first applied in practice in the late 19th century by engineers like P. W. Willans, despite its earlier theoretical development by others. The author explains the mathematics behind the diagram and how it can be used to plot the thermal changes that occur within a steam engine during one cycle, demonstrating its advantages over the traditional indicator diagram. It also shows how diagrams can be drawn for other heat engines, such as gas engines and oil engines. The author demonstrates the diagram's utility through practical examples drawn from actual steam engine trials, establishing the entropy diagram as a powerful tool for studying the efficiency of heat engines.
