Overview
ABSTRACT
The thermodynamic properties of pure substances can be graphically represented in a plane, in the form of thermodynamic charts. Several coordinate systems can be chosen depending on the use made of these diagrams. In this paper, we provide a dozen examples of charts and show how three types of cycle can be plotted in them.

INTRODUCTION
This article follows on from the article Thermodynamic diagrams – Generalities
The article itself is structured in three parts: first, the main types of diagrams used in practice are presented; a dozen examples relating to some common fluids are then given; finally, the representation in these diagrams of three basic thermodynamic cycles is explained (steam power plant cycle, R 134a refrigeration cycle, and gas turbine cycle).
