Indicator Diagram - Indicator Lines

Japanese: インジケーター線図 - いんじけーたーせんず
Indicator Diagram - Indicator Lines

…Broadly speaking, it refers to an indicating instrument or indicator, but when simply referring to an indicator, it usually refers to a pressure gauge, that is, an instrument or device that detects and observes the gas pressure in the cylinder of a piston-type machine such as a piston engine, steam engine, or reciprocating gas compressor. When a graph is recorded using this to show the relationship between the pressure in the cylinder and the crank rotation angle (time) or the piston stroke (gas volume in the cylinder), it is called an indicator diagram, and analysis of this graph provides important information for engine research and development, such as the combustion state and the valve operation state, and can also be used to monitor the performance and operation of machines in operation. By calculating the area enclosed by the indicator diagram (pressure-stroke volume diagram), the thermodynamic work (indicated work or indicated horsepower) done by the gas on the piston can be directly calculated. …

From [Steam Engine]


[Steam engine in operation]
The change in steam pressure in a cylinder during one reciprocating movement of the piston, that is, the forward and return strokes, is shown in Figure 4. This is called an indicator diagram, and in an actual engine, it can be drawn using an indicator. Note that this diagram only shows the left side of the piston, but the area enclosed by this shows the amount of work produced by the engine.

*Some of the terminology that refers to "indicator diagram" is listed below.

Japanese:

…広くは指示計器,あるいは指(表)示部などのことであるが,単にインジケーターといった場合には指圧計,すなわちピストンエンジン,蒸気機関,往復式気体圧縮機などピストン式機械のシリンダー内ガス圧力を検出,観測する計器および装置を指すのがふつうである。これを用いて,シリンダー内圧力とクランク回転角(時間),あるいはピストン行程(シリンダー内ガス容積)との関係を線図として記録したものを,インジケーター線図といい,その解析により,燃焼の状況,弁作動の状況など,エンジンの研究,開発に重要な情報が得られ,また稼働中の機械の性能・動作モニターにも利用できる。インジケーター線図(圧力―行程容積線図)が囲む面積を計算すると,ガスがピストンに対して行う熱力学的な仕事(図示仕事あるいは図示馬力)が直接求められる。…

【蒸気機関】より


[蒸気機関の作動]
 シリンダー内の蒸気の圧力の変化をピストンの1往復,すなわち往行程と復行程とについて示すと図4のようになる。これはインジケーター線図といわれ,実際の機関ではインジケーターを用いて描かせることができる。なお,この図はピストンの左側のものだけを示しているが,これの囲む面積は機関でえられる仕事量を示すものである。…
