Drawing Sankey Diagrams

1. The document provides instructions for drawing Sankey diagrams to represent energy transfers in simple systems. It gives examples of drawing Sankey diagrams for a kettle and a food mixer. 2. For each example, the input and output energies are identified and quantities are determined. Lines are drawn to represent the energy transfers, with arrows and labels to indicate useful output and wasted energies. 3. The diagrams are drawn with each square representing a fixed quantity of energy, such as 100J, with line widths corresponding to the energy amounts.

Drawing Sankey Diagrams

Objectives
•Be able to draw Sankey diagrams
for simple systems
Instructions
• You are going to work through several
examples of how to draw Sankey
diagrams.

• Use a separate piece of squared paper for


each example eg. Kettle on one piece,
Food mixer on one piece etc.

• Draw each stage of the Sankey diagram


as shown on the slide and label it.
Drawing Sankey Diagrams

1) Decide which is the input


energy, the useful output
energy and the wasted
output energy and work out
how much of each one there
is
Eg 1. A kettle uses 500J of
energy and converts it to 150J
of useful energy
• INPUT ENERGY = 500J of
ELECTRICAL ENERGY
• USEFUL OUTPUT ENERGY = 150J
of HEAT ENERGY
• WASTED ENERGY = 350J of
SOUND ENERGY
2) Decide how many joules of
energy each square represents

1
square
= 100J
3) Draw a line on the left hand side to
represent the INPUT ENERGY

1
square
= 100J
4) Label this with the type of energy
it is

500J
electrical
energy
1
square
= 100J
5) Draw an arrow across the top showing
the USEFUL OUTPUT ENERGY and label it

150J Heat

6) Draw an arrow down to show the
WASTED ENERGY transfer and label it.

7) Draw a line to finish off the diagram

Eg 2. A food mixer converts
700J of energy into 150J of
useful energy
• INPUT ENERGY = 700J of
ELECTRICAL ENERGY
• USEFUL OUTPUT ENERGY = 150J
of KINETIC
• WASTED ENERGY = 550J of
HEAT AND SOUND ENERGY
2) Decide how many joules of energy
