      A reversible process is a process in which the system and environment can be restored to exactly the same initial states that they were in before the process occurred, if we go backward along the path...A reversible process is a process in which the system and environment can be restored to exactly the same initial states that they were in before the process occurred, if we go backward along the path of the process. 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.
