Thermo 6.5: Reversible Processes

In this segment, we introduce and discuss reversible processes. We motivate the study of a reversible process and explained that the maximum theoretical output of a heat engine can be obtained for a reversible cycle/process. We also illustrated a few examples of processes approaching reversible processes and irreversible processes. We finished the segment by discussing physical factors causing irreversibility.
