    Students will learn about energy arrows and Sankey diagrams. Energy arrows show the transfer of energy into and out of a system and can indicate wasted versus useful energy. Sankey diagrams specifically use the width of arrows to represent the quantity of energy flow. They were first published and used by Captain Matthew Henry Phineas Riall Sankey in 1898 to analyze the efficiency of steam engines.

    Why are they also called Sankey
    Diagrams?
    Captain Matthew Henry Phineas Riall
    Sankey was an engineer.

    In 1898 he was the first person to publish


    a diagram that used the width of an arrow
    to show the size of the energy flow.

    The first ever Sankey diagram shows the


    energy flow in a real steam engine
    compared with a ‘perfect’ engine.

    Sankey diagrams are so useful that you


    Captain Henry Sankey (1853 – 1925)
    can buy computer programs to draw them!
