REVERSIBLE AND
IRREVERSIBLE PROCESSES
Lecture 4 (b) Reversible and Irreversible processes.pptx
Reversible and Irrevsible Processes
 A reversible process is one carried out in infinitesimal (tiny steps), after which, when undone,
both the system and surroundings (i.e. Universe) remain unchanged. Although true reversible
change cannot be realized in practice, it can always be approximated.
 “The Process having been taken place but can be reversed and in doing so no change in
system and environment occurs is reversible process”.
 “No frictional losses are involved in the process; heat transfer occurs in tiny temperature
differences and un-restrained expansion does not occur.”
 Sum of the heat (q) and work (w) associated with a process is defined by the First
Law ΔU = q + w. Heat and work themselves are not state functions (i.e. Mass, pressure, density,
energy, temp., volume, enthalpy, entropy etc. are all examples of state functions), and therefore
depend on the particular pathway / direction in which a process is carried out.
 “As a process is carried out in a more reversible manner, the value of W approaches its
maximum possible value, and q approaches its minimum possible value”. Although q is not a
state function, the quotient qrev/T is known as the entropy.
Reversible and irreversible Processes…..
 A thermodynamic process is reversible if the process can return back in such that both the
system and the surroundings return to their original states, with no other change anywhere
else in the universe. It means both system and surroundings are returned to their initial states
at the end of the reverse process.
 The reversible process is the ideal process which never occurs, while the irreversible
process is the natural process that is commonly found in nature.
 An irreversible process is a thermodynamic process that departs from equilibrium. In terms of
pressure and volume, it occurs when the pressure, or the volume of a system changes
dramatically and instantaneously that the volume (or the pressure) do not have the time to
reach equilibrium.
Examples:
 When we tear a page from our notebooks, we cannot change this and ‘un-tear’. This is
an irreversible process; and mixing of water into concrete cement; burning of paper.
 Whereas when water evaporates, it can also be condensed in the form of rains. This is
a reversible process.

More examples
Another example, the reversible expansion of a gas can be achieved by reducing the external
pressure in a series of infinitesimal steps; reversing any step will restore the system and the
surroundings to their previous state.
Similarly, heat can be transferred reversibly between two bodies by changing the temperature
difference between them in infinitesimal steps each of which can be undone by reversing the
temperature difference.
Widely cited example of an irreversible change is the free expansion of a gas into a vacuum.
Although the system can always be restored to its original state by re-compressing the gas,
this would require that the surroundings perform work on the gas. Since the gas does no work
on the surrounding in a free expansion (the external pressure is zero, so P ΔV = 0,) there will
be a permanent change in the surroundings.
Another example of irreversible change is the conversion of mechanical work into frictional
heat; there is no way, by reversing the motion of a weight along a surface, that the heat
released due to friction can be restored to the system
Figure 1
These diagrams show the same expansion and compression
±ΔV carried out in different numbers of steps ranging from a
single step at the top to an "infinite" number of steps at the
bottom. As the number of steps increases, the processes
become less irreversible; that is, the difference between the
work done in expansion and that required to re-compress the
gas diminishes.
In the limit of an ”infinite” number of steps (bottom), these
work terms are identical, and both the system and
surroundings are unchanged by the expansion-compression
cycle. In all other cases the system (the gas) is restored to its
initial state, but the surroundings are forever changed.
It should go without saying, of course, that any process that
proceeds in infinitesimal steps would take infinitely long to
occur, so thermodynamic reversibility is an idealization that is
never achieved in real processes, except when the system is
already at equilibrium, in which case no change will occur
anyway.
So why is the concept of a reversible process so important?
The answer can be seen by recalling that the “change in the internal energy that
characterizes any process can be distributed in an infinity of ways between heat flow
across the boundaries of the system and work done on or by the system”, as expressed by
the First Law of thermodynamics
ΔU = q + w (1)
Each combination of q and w represents a different pathway between the initial and final
states. It can be shown that as a process such as the expansion of a gas is carried out in
successively longer series of smaller steps, the absolute value of q approaches a minimum,
and that of w approaches a maximum that is characteristic of the particular process. Thus
when a process is carried out reversibly, the w-term in Equation 1 has its greatest possible
value, and the q-term is at its smallest. These special quantities wmax and qmin (which we
denote qrev and pronounce “q-reversible”) have unique values for any given process and
are therefore state functions.
Work and Reversibility
Changes in entropy (ΔS), together with changes in enthalpy (ΔH), enable us to predict in which
direction a chemical or physical change will occur spontaneously. Before discussing how to do so,
however, we must understand the difference between a reversible process and an irreversible
one. In a reversible process, every intermediate state between the extremes is an equilibrium
state, regardless of the direction of the change. In contrast, an irreversible process is one in
which the intermediate states are not equilibrium states, so change occurs spontaneously in only
one direction.
As a result, a reversible process can change direction at any time, whereas an irreversible process
cannot. e.g. When a gas expands reversibly against an external pressure such as a piston, the
expansion can be reversed at any time by reversing the motion of the piston; once the gas is
compressed, it can be allowed to expand again, and the process can continue indefinitely.
In contrast, the expansion of a gas into a vacuum (Pext = 0) is irreversible because the external
pressure is measurably less than the internal pressure of the gas. No equilibrium states exist, and
the gas expands irreversibly. Also When gas escapes from a micro-scopic hole in a balloon into a
vacuum, for example, the process is irreversible; the direction of airflow cannot change.
Because work done during the expansion of a gas depends on the opposing external
pressure (W = Pext ΔV), work done in a reversible process is always equal to or greater than
work done in a corresponding irreversible process:
Wrev ≥ Wirrev.
Whether a process is reversible or irreversible, the first law of thermodynamics holds Eq. 1.
Because U is a state function, the magnitude of ΔU does not depend on reversibility and is
independent of the path taken.
So ΔU= qrev + wrev (2)
and ΔU = qirrev + wirrev (3)
Work done in a reversible process is always equal to or greater than work done in a
corresponding irreversible process:
Wrev > Wirrev (4)
In other words, ΔU for a process is the same whether that process is carried out in a
reversible manner or an irreversible one.

Lecture 4 (b) Reversible and Irreversible processes.pptx

  • 3. Reversible and Irrevsible Processes  A reversible process is one carried out in infinitesimal (tiny steps), after which, when undone, both the system and surroundings (i.e. Universe) remain unchanged. Although true reversible change cannot be realized in practice, it can always be approximated.  “The Process having been taken place but can be reversed and in doing so no change in system and environment occurs is reversible process”.  “No frictional losses are involved in the process; heat transfer occurs in tiny temperature differences and un-restrained expansion does not occur.”  Sum of the heat (q) and work (w) associated with a process is defined by the First Law ΔU = q + w. Heat and work themselves are not state functions (i.e. Mass, pressure, density, energy, temp., volume, enthalpy, entropy etc. are all examples of state functions), and therefore depend on the particular pathway / direction in which a process is carried out.  “As a process is carried out in a more reversible manner, the value of W approaches its maximum possible value, and q approaches its minimum possible value”. Although q is not a state function, the quotient qrev/T is known as the entropy.
  • 4. Reversible and irreversible Processes…..  A thermodynamic process is reversible if the process can return back in such that both the system and the surroundings return to their original states, with no other change anywhere else in the universe. It means both system and surroundings are returned to their initial states at the end of the reverse process.  The reversible process is the ideal process which never occurs, while the irreversible process is the natural process that is commonly found in nature.  An irreversible process is a thermodynamic process that departs from equilibrium. In terms of pressure and volume, it occurs when the pressure, or the volume of a system changes dramatically and instantaneously that the volume (or the pressure) do not have the time to reach equilibrium. Examples:  When we tear a page from our notebooks, we cannot change this and ‘un-tear’. This is an irreversible process; and mixing of water into concrete cement; burning of paper.  Whereas when water evaporates, it can also be condensed in the form of rains. This is a reversible process.
  • 7. More examples Another example, the reversible expansion of a gas can be achieved by reducing the external pressure in a series of infinitesimal steps; reversing any step will restore the system and the surroundings to their previous state. Similarly, heat can be transferred reversibly between two bodies by changing the temperature difference between them in infinitesimal steps each of which can be undone by reversing the temperature difference. Widely cited example of an irreversible change is the free expansion of a gas into a vacuum. Although the system can always be restored to its original state by re-compressing the gas, this would require that the surroundings perform work on the gas. Since the gas does no work on the surrounding in a free expansion (the external pressure is zero, so P ΔV = 0,) there will be a permanent change in the surroundings. Another example of irreversible change is the conversion of mechanical work into frictional heat; there is no way, by reversing the motion of a weight along a surface, that the heat released due to friction can be restored to the system
  • 8. Figure 1 These diagrams show the same expansion and compression ±ΔV carried out in different numbers of steps ranging from a single step at the top to an "infinite" number of steps at the bottom. As the number of steps increases, the processes become less irreversible; that is, the difference between the work done in expansion and that required to re-compress the gas diminishes. In the limit of an ”infinite” number of steps (bottom), these work terms are identical, and both the system and surroundings are unchanged by the expansion-compression cycle. In all other cases the system (the gas) is restored to its initial state, but the surroundings are forever changed. It should go without saying, of course, that any process that proceeds in infinitesimal steps would take infinitely long to occur, so thermodynamic reversibility is an idealization that is never achieved in real processes, except when the system is already at equilibrium, in which case no change will occur anyway.
  • 9. So why is the concept of a reversible process so important? The answer can be seen by recalling that the “change in the internal energy that characterizes any process can be distributed in an infinity of ways between heat flow across the boundaries of the system and work done on or by the system”, as expressed by the First Law of thermodynamics ΔU = q + w (1) Each combination of q and w represents a different pathway between the initial and final states. It can be shown that as a process such as the expansion of a gas is carried out in successively longer series of smaller steps, the absolute value of q approaches a minimum, and that of w approaches a maximum that is characteristic of the particular process. Thus when a process is carried out reversibly, the w-term in Equation 1 has its greatest possible value, and the q-term is at its smallest. These special quantities wmax and qmin (which we denote qrev and pronounce “q-reversible”) have unique values for any given process and are therefore state functions.
  • 10. Work and Reversibility Changes in entropy (ΔS), together with changes in enthalpy (ΔH), enable us to predict in which direction a chemical or physical change will occur spontaneously. Before discussing how to do so, however, we must understand the difference between a reversible process and an irreversible one. In a reversible process, every intermediate state between the extremes is an equilibrium state, regardless of the direction of the change. In contrast, an irreversible process is one in which the intermediate states are not equilibrium states, so change occurs spontaneously in only one direction. As a result, a reversible process can change direction at any time, whereas an irreversible process cannot. e.g. When a gas expands reversibly against an external pressure such as a piston, the expansion can be reversed at any time by reversing the motion of the piston; once the gas is compressed, it can be allowed to expand again, and the process can continue indefinitely. In contrast, the expansion of a gas into a vacuum (Pext = 0) is irreversible because the external pressure is measurably less than the internal pressure of the gas. No equilibrium states exist, and the gas expands irreversibly. Also When gas escapes from a micro-scopic hole in a balloon into a vacuum, for example, the process is irreversible; the direction of airflow cannot change.
  • 11. Because work done during the expansion of a gas depends on the opposing external pressure (W = Pext ΔV), work done in a reversible process is always equal to or greater than work done in a corresponding irreversible process: Wrev ≥ Wirrev. Whether a process is reversible or irreversible, the first law of thermodynamics holds Eq. 1. Because U is a state function, the magnitude of ΔU does not depend on reversibility and is independent of the path taken. So ΔU= qrev + wrev (2) and ΔU = qirrev + wirrev (3) Work done in a reversible process is always equal to or greater than work done in a corresponding irreversible process: Wrev > Wirrev (4) In other words, ΔU for a process is the same whether that process is carried out in a reversible manner or an irreversible one.
