2.8.2 IRREVERSIBLE PROCESSES
In reality all the processes have some losses, which might be friction, heat losses, hysteresis, etc.
Hence, all real processes are irreversible. This does not mean that it is impossible for a system to
perform a cycle made up of irreversible processes but simply that the surroundings will have been
altered by the cycle having been performed. A number of common irreversible processes will be listed.
friction between solids, ...
