About this document
Energy Flow with Sankey Diagrams by phydotsi is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses Sankey diagrams and how they can be used to represent energy transformations and the amount of energy that is useful output versus wasted. A Sankey diagram for a light bulb shows 100J of electrical input energy with only 10J of useful light output, while 90J is wasted as thermal energy. Another Sankey diagram on graph paper represents energy transformations, with 200J as input, 50J as useful output, and 150J wasted, where each square on the diagram equals 5J of energy.
