Abstract
⺠The polytropic index (γ) and ratio of gas to total pressures (β) are shown to vary significantly in accretion flows. ⺠The values of γ and β could vary respectively, up to 20% and 300%. ⺠Solutions established based on constant γ throughout would misinterpret the physics of flows in certain regimes. ⺠This has a significant impact in explaining observed data.
