Since <math>\nu</math> decreases with temperature and pressure increases with temperature for an isentropic process, we can see from Eqn.~\ref{eqn:process:dnu} that <math>d\nu</math> will be greater at lower temperatures and thus isochores (lines of constant specific volume) will be closely spaced at low temperatures and more sparse at higher temperatures. For an isochore <math>dv=0</math> which implies

and thus we can see that the slope of an isochore in a <math>T-s</math>-diagram is positive and that the slope increases with temperature.

In analogy, we can see that an isobar (<math>dp=0</math>) leads to the following relation

and consequently isobars will also have a positive slope that increases with temperature in a <math>T-s</math>-diagram. Moreover, isobars are less steep than ischores as <math>C_p > C_v</math>.
