Total power carried by a quasi-isothermal jet as a function of distance from the black hole z normalized to its initial power. The power of the jet increases as it propagates (see Eq. (23)). One possibility to explain how the jet is heated is via some internal process not captured by the time-independent Euler equation, such as internal shocks.
