===Initial Recognition=== Multiplying the ''Adiabatic Form of the First Law of Thermodynamics'' through by {{ Template:Math/VAR_Density01 }} and rearranging terms, we find that, <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>0</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \rho\frac{d\epsilon}{dt} + \rho P \frac{d}{dt}\biggl(\frac{1}{\rho} \biggr) </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{d(\rho\epsilon)}{dt} - \epsilon \frac{d\rho}{dt} - \frac{P}{\rho} \frac{d\rho}{dt} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{d(\rho\epsilon)}{dt} - (P + \rho\epsilon) \frac{1}{\rho}\frac{d\rho}{dt} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{d(\rho\epsilon)}{dt} - (P + \rho\epsilon)\frac{d\ln\rho}{dt} \, , </math> </td> </tr> </table> is an equally valid statement of the conservation of specific entropy in an adiabatic flow. In combination, first, with <div align="center"> <span id="IdealGasB"><font color="#770000">'''Form B'''</font></span><br /> of the Ideal Gas Equation {{ Template:Math/EQ_EOSideal02 }} </div> and, second, with the <div align="center"> <span id="Continuity"><font color="#770000">'''Lagrangian Form'''</font></span><br /> of the Continuity Equation {{ Template:Math/EQ_Continuity01 }} </div> we may furthermore rewrite this expression as, <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\frac{d(\rho\epsilon)}{dt}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \gamma_g (\rho\epsilon)\frac{d\ln\rho}{dt} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\Rightarrow ~~~ \frac{1}{\gamma_g} \frac{d\ln(\rho\epsilon)}{dt}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> \frac{d\ln\rho}{dt} </math> </td> </tr> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>\Rightarrow ~~~ \frac{d\ln(\rho\epsilon)^{1/\gamma_g}}{dt}</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>=</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math> - \nabla\cdot\vec{v} \, . </math> </td> </tr> </table> This relation has the classic form of a conservation law. It certifies that, within the context of adiabatic flows, the ''entropy tracer,'' <div align="center"> <math>\tau \equiv (\rho\epsilon)^{1/\gamma_g} = \biggl[ \frac{P}{(\gamma_g - 1)} \biggr]^{1/\gamma_g} \, ,</math> </div> is the volume density of a conserved quantity. In this case, that conserved quantity is the entropy of each fluid element.
