To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The irregular area b + c + d + e is the total reversible waste, assuming that the entropy from H to I was increased by some of the heat given out between F and H. It must not be supposed, how- ever, that the waste is necessarily no greater than this. So far irreversible compression has not been dis- cussed. If a cylinder of gas or steam is compressed by using up external work, it is difficult to think of any form of irreversible compression which would use up more work and give out more heat th...an would account for the decrease of the steam's entropy. In a turbine acting as a pump, however, the waste would be considerably greater than the area under the 6 cycle. This is pointed out to prevent any such mistake as supposing the area under the 6^ cycle to be the only waste. The waste must be at least that area, and it may be more. This increased waste appears, however, as a reduction of the p v cycle area, as the increased waste due to irreversible compression increases the work put into the working substance by raising the lower side of the p v diagram's cycle.
