Looking for Free Software to Plot a T-s Diagram

11/25/2015 10:19 PM

Hello folks,

I'm doing an assignment over gas turbine in which I have all the thermodynamics states of a Brayton cycle.
I'd like to plot these points on a T-s diagram, but I couldn't find any free software to do so.
Any suggestions?

Thanks!

You could perhaps try Microsoft Excel (or similar), but you may have to get creative with the plot format.

There may be a more specific program for that. I need three constant pressure lines on the diagram, in which I will plot 6 points representing 6 thermodynamics states.

Graph paper, pencil, and knowledge.

Try software that isn't free instead.

If you are one potent Mechanical Engineer, you don't need an expensive $$$ software, you could easily draw this one on MS accessory "MS paint"
