An irreversible process____________________?
Correct answer: C. Yields an amount of work less than that of a reversible process
- A. Is the analog of linear frictionless motion in machines
- B. Is an idealised visualisation of behaviour of a system
- C. Yields an amount of work less than that of a reversible process
- D. Yields the maximum amount of work
Explanation
For the same initial and final states in a work-producing process, irreversibility destroys some work potential, so the work obtained is less than in the reversible case. Reversible motion is the ideal limiting process, not the irreversible one.
