Description:
It is shown that for the steady isoenergetic rotational flow of an ideal gas, both the specific enthalpy and the speed of sound can be expressed as functions of the velocity. As a result, it is possible to formulate the equations of motion so that the velocity is the only dependent variable. For a gas whose enthalpy and sound speed are functionally related, the results are a generalization of those for a perfect gas. If the enthalpy and sound speed are independent variables, the new formulation leads to a single vector equation whose solution completely determines the flow.
