What is the Irreversibility?
Irreversibility of a process can also be construed as the amount of work to be done to restore the system to the original state. Irreversibility is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram for Heat of Combustion (per Mass). Note that the value of Irreversibility is always negative.
Can the Irreversibility be negative?
Yes, the Irreversibility, measured in Heat of Combustion (per Mass) can be negative.
What unit is used to measure Irreversibility?
Irreversibility is usually measured using the Joule per Kilogram[J/kg] for Heat of Combustion (per Mass). Kilojoule per Kilogram[J/kg], Calorie (IT) per Gram[J/kg] are the few other units in which Irreversibility can be measured.
