Talk:Polytropic process
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] Gamma heading
When referring to an isentropic gas under this heading, is the isentropy a function of position or of the process? Perhaps it should read "a gas undergoing an isentropic process", and similarly for the phrase "isothermal gas". This may seem like obvious shorthand to the initiated, but for newbies it can leave niggling uncertainties about important concepts. Jeffzda (talk) 04:41, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
