Explain the reversible process..?
Answers
Answer:
Reversible process: A process carried out in such manner that at every stage, the driving torce is only infinitesimally greater than the opposing force and it can be reversed by an infinitesimal increase in force and the system exists in equilhbrium with its Surroundings throughout, is called a reversible proEsS
Features:
(a) This is a hypothetical process.
(b) Driving force is infinitesimally greater than the opposing force throughout the change.
C)The process can be reversed at any point by making infntesimal changes in the conditions.
(d) The process takes place infinitesimally slowly involving infinite number of steps.
(e) At the end of every step of the process, the system attains mechanical equilibium, hence, throughout the process, the system exists in temperature-pressure cquilibrium with its Surroundings.
(f) In this process, maximum work is obtained.
(g) Temperature remains constant throughout the isothermal reversible process.
