The word "isentropic" in example sentences

The only reasonable conclusion that respects the Second Law is that the expansion of a radiation-only universe is reversible and so isentropic in all phases. ❋ Sean (2007)

Some spontaneous macroscopic evolutions are reversible and isentropic, and an expanding radiation-dominated universe is one example. ❋ Sean (2007)

If you move the walls of a gas-filled box to expand its volume, and do it (arbitrarily) slowly enough that the gas remains (arbitrarily) close to equilibrium throughout, then the expansion is isentropic and reversible. ❋ Sean (2007)

If we restrict such a universe to contain _only_ radiation, then its expansion and re-contraction are basically reversible and isentropic (I argued this back in the “Latest Declamations About the Arrow of Time” post, and you more-or-less agreed; see comments #60, 61 and 67 in that thread). ❋ Sean (2007)
