    Graduate Temperature change in an isentropic flow of an ideal gas

    That makes more sense ! Thanks a lot for clearing that up.

    Graduate Temperature change in an isentropic flow of an ideal gas

    I do not have a problem with the fact that the process is adiabatic (no heat transfer with the surroundings). My problem is with the fact that the transformation is reversible, and yet there is a spatial temperature gradient which would cause heat transfer within the gas (not with the...

    Graduate Temperature change in an isentropic flow of an ideal gas

    I am a bit confused by the definition of an isentropic process in the flow of an ideal gas. isentropic implies reversible & adiabatic. for a process to be reversible, there are no losses to friction (viscosity in this case), for a process to be adiabatic, there is no heat transfer with...
