Brief Review: Reversibilities etc<br />

Reversible processes-ones that can be<br />

reversed without leaving a trace on the<br />

surroundings. Both system and<br />

surroundings must revert to initial state at<br />

end of process.<br />

Implies net heat and net work exchange<br />

between system and surroundings for<br />

combined process (original and reverse) is<br />

zero.<br />

Such a process is an idealization- does not<br />

exist!<br />
