Answer #1

For a process to be isentropic as well as adiabatic i.e, heat transfer as well as entropy change are zero. The reaction must be reversible.

Isentropic process is one in which net entropy change of the process is zero which is achieved only if reaction is reversible in nature.

Whereas adiabatic means no heat transfer and process may be reversible or irreversible.

Thus, we can have isentropic process same as that of adiabatic only when the reaction is reversible.

Hope this helps you
