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

…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… ※「インジケーター線図」について言及している用語解説の一部を掲載しています。 出典|株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について | 情報 |
