Isentropic flow is Subsonic. Maybe it was a reference to the same type of flow.
 
Darken99 (Mechanical)I think you mean isentropic flow can be subsoic, sonic or supersonic.

Yeah should have read over what I typed. I was trying to say that it could be a reference to an isentropic flow that is subsonic.
 
Shirajpn,

Isentropic flow in general terms means a flow with no lossess (no friction, no heat transfer losses,etc). It is a flow with no entropy change.

The assumption of isentropic flow greatly simplifies the mathematical model used to describe the flows be it subsonic, transonic or supersonic.
 
Notice that the OP hasn't logged on in a month. I have to wonder how much he cares any more.
