Forward Mach angle of expansion fan Formula

forward_mach_angle = arsin(1/Mach no. ahead expansion fan)
μ ₁ = arsin(1/M ₁)

Why inlets designers would love to have compression process carried by isentropic compression waves?

The isentropic compression process is a more efficient compression process, yielding a downstream Mach number and pressure that are considerably higher than the shock wave. The inefficiency of the shock wave is measured by the loss of total pressure across the shock.
