Adiabatic means delta Q=0, reversible means delta S=0. I got it mixed up too, mort corrected me. Pulling air past a throttle is converting kinetic energy of the gas into heat, that is an increase in entropy. Adiabatic processes need not be isentropic.

I never said it's not a lot of power, stop putting words in my mouth.

Mech I hope you don't think I'm in that category...I am trying my best to be respectful.
