What quantitative change takes place across expansion wave?

Across the expansion fan, the Mach number increases, pressure, temperature and density decreases. The expansion fan is the continuous expansion region which can be visualized as a series of Mach waves, each making angle μ with the local flow direction. As the expansion takes place through the series of Mach waves and entropy change is zero for Mach waves, the expansion is isentropic.
