In thermodynamics, a temperatureâentropy (Tâs) diagram is a thermodynamic diagram used to visualize changes to temperature (T ) and specific entropy (s) during a thermodynamic process or cycle as the graph of a curve. It is a useful and common tool, particularly because it helps to visualize the heat transfer during a process. For reversible (ideal) processes, the area under the Tâs curve of a process is the heat transferred to the system during that process. [1]
Working fluids are often categorized on the basis of the shape of their Tâs diagram.
An isentropic process is depicted as a vertical line on a Tâs diagram, whereas an isothermal process is a horizontal line. [2]
