An enthalpy-entropy chart, also known as the h-s chart or Mollier diagram, plots the total heat against entropy, describing the enthalpy of a thermodynamic system. A typical chart covers a pressure range of 0.01-1000 bar, and temperatures up to 800 degrees Celsius. It shows enthalpy h {\displaystyle h} in terms of internal energy u {\displaystyle u} , pressure P {\displaystyle P} and volume v {\displaystyle v} using the relationship h = u + P v {\displaystyle h=u+Pv\,\!} .

History

The diagram was created in 1904, when Richard Mollier plotted the total heat against entropy. At the 1923 Thermodynamics Conference held in Los Angeles it was decided to name, in his honor, as a "Mollier diagram" any thermodynamic diagram using the enthalpy h as one of its axes.

Details

On the diagram, lines of constant pressure, constant temperature and volume are plotted, so in a two-phase region, the lines of constant pressure and temperature coincide. Thus, coordinates on the diagram represent entropy and heat.

The work done in a process on vapor cycles is represented by length of 'h', so it can be measured directly, whereas in a T-s diagram it has to be computed using thermodynamic relationship between thermodynamic properties.

In an isobaric process, the pressure remains constant, so the heat interaction is the change in enthalpy.

In an isenthalpic process, the enthalpy is constant. A vertical line in the h-s chart means an isentropic process and an horizontal line means an isenthalpic process. The process 3-4 in a rankine cycle is isentropic when the steam turbine is said to be an ideal one. So the expansion process in a turbine can be easily calculated using the h-s chart when the process is considered to be ideal (which is the case normally when calculating enthalpies, entropies, etc. Later the deviations from the ideal values can be calculated considering the isentropic efficiency of the steam turbine used.)

Lines of constant dryness fraction (x), sometimes called the quality, are drawn in the wet region and lines of constant temperature are drawn in the superheated region. X gives the fraction (by mass) of gaseous substance in the wet region, the remainder being colloidal liquid droplets. Above the heavy line, the temperature is above the boiling point, and the dry (superheated) substance is gas only.

In general such charts do not show the values of specific volumes, nor do they show the enthalpies of saturated water at pressures which are of the order of those experienced in condensers in a thermal power station. Hence the chart is only useful for enthalpy changes in the expansion process of the steam cycle.

Applications and usage

It can be used in practical applications such as malting, to represent the grain-air-moisture system.

The underlying property data for the Mollier diagram is identical to a psychrometric chart. At first inspection, there may appear little resemblance between the charts, but if the user rotates a chart ninety degrees and looks at it in a mirror, the resemblance is apparent. The Mollier diagram coordinates are enthalpy h and humidity ratio x. The enthalpy coordinate is skewed and the constant enthalpy lines are parallel and evenly spaced.
