For a barotropic fluid, an energy per mass can be defined by . For the isothermal equation of state, . Adding kinetic, gravitational and magnetic energy gives the ideal magnetic energy flux . This is a mechanical barotropic energy identity; it does not say that an isothermal gas is thermally isolated.
