Isentropic
• From First Law: (No K.E. in this derivation)dE = dQ + dW
• dW = -PdV (reversible work)
– Negative due to the convention that work done onthe system means that V2 < V1 in order for dW > 0,
must have a “-”
• dQ = TdS (reversible, constant T)dE = TdS – PdV and dH = TdS +VdP
– Prove dH formula by dH = dU + d(PV)

Isentropic Relationship
• Ideal Gas Law PV = RT, P = RT/VdS = dE/T + PdV/T
dS = dH/T - RdP/P (R/P = V/T)
• CvdT = dE and CpdT = dHdS = CvdT/T + RdV/V (R/V = P/T)
dS = CpdT/T – RdP/P
• dS = 0:
Cv dT/T = -RdV/V
Cp
dT/T = RdP/P

Isentropic (Cont)
R = CP - CV
= CP/CV
R/CV = ( - 1)• More Relationships, use Cp relationship
Cp ln(T2/T1) = Rln(P2/P1)
• Divide by Cv and use ln(T2/T1) = ( -1)ln(P2/P1)
• The rest can be proven with calculus….
