   The acausal bond graph of system \textbf{Poly} is
   displayed in Figure \Ref{Poly_abg} and its label
   file is listed in Section \Ref{sec:Poly_lbl}.

This four-port component computes the temperature following a
polytropic expansion using:
\begin{equation}
  T_2 = T_1 \left ( \frac{P_2}{P_1} \right )^\alpha
\end{equation}
where $\alpha = \frac{n-1}{n}$ and $n$ is the coefficient of
polytropic expansion.  This component imposes zero flow at all its
ports and therefore does not affect energy balance.

The output is \emph{bicausal} as it imposes both $T_2$ and a zero flow.
This is implemented using the bicausal \textbf{SS} component labeled
``zero''.
