Curves and Processes - Highlight (Steam)

Definition

A curve (or line) is a geometric construct. It depicts a process that transforms a system from its start state to its end state.

Where it occurs

Special processes include constant pressure, constant temperature and constant entropy. Highlighting also applies to symbols.

Special features

The curve retains a handle (small circle) at the location of the original POI (see below). Clicking inside the handle highlights the curve. The colour changes to red.

How to draw it

Move the tip of the mouse pointer to the centre of the above mentioned circle and left click. In some cases highlight will prove "fiddly" and several attempts will be needed.

The theory

NA.

Exercises

Create an isobar, highlight it and press delete. Create a symbol, highlight it and delete.
