This diagram shows an isentropic expansion process and an actual expansion process on a temperature-entropy chart. The isentropic expansion follows a constant entropy line from state 1 to state 2s, while the actual expansion follows a path from state 1 to state 2, resulting in entropy increase and lower temperature. The area between the isentropic and actual lines represents lost work.
