An irreversible process is what we encounter in reality almost all the time. The system and its environment cannot be restored to their original states at the same time.

For an ideal gas, these variables are pressure, volume, temperature, and number of molecules or moles of the gas. For systems in thermodynamic equilibrium, the thermodynamic variables are related by an equation of state. A heat reservoir is so large that when it exchanges heat with other systems, its temperature does not change.
