Question

please explain:


reversible and irreversible processes in thermodynamics

extensive and intensive properties of the system


and the differences b/w them?

thank you

Answer 1

in thermodynamics a reversible process is a process whose direction can be reversed by including infinitesimal change to some property of the system via it's sourrding with no increase in entropy. throughout the entire reversible process the system in is thermodynamics equilibrium with its sourrding.
