The above are referred to as the: first, second and third, respectively, isentropic
relations for Ideal Gases (assuming constant specific heats).
They can also be written as:
Tv
k-1
= constant First isentropic relation
TP
(1-k)/k
= constant Second isentropic relation
Pv
k
= constant Third isentropic relation

K to 500 kPa and 360 K. Determine the entropy change
