  • It involves slow changes during operation.

  • This process may occur in any direction. 

  • It gives rise to maximum work.

  • Here driving force and opposing force differ with each other by a small value.

 

Irreversible Process 

Here the direction of change can not be reversed by small changes in variables.

  • It Involves fast changes during operation.
  • It is a unidirectional process. 

  • It gives rise to the network that is W
