Crocco's theorem is needed to obtain the irrotationality condition used later in the overall derivation. The equation is essentially a combination of the momentum and energy equations. The final resulting boxed equation states that the curl of the velocity field is zero, indication an irrotational flow.

The TdS equation is a combined statement of the first and second law of thermodynamics. It relates the entropy, enthalpy, and pressure changes in a system (for the form that we need for Croccos theorem). To keep the big picture in mind, recall that I mentioned that Croccos theorem is a combination of the thermodynamics and kinematics of a flow. This equation gives us the thermodynamics part.")
