Reversible Systems:
Cyclic reversible transformation of a system
- Cycle 1:
via via
- Cycle 2:
via via
Thus resulting in:
Result:
- Independent of path
- Depends only on initial and final states
- Entropy is a property
where is path-independent and is path-dependent
Irreversible and Reversible Systems:
Cyclic general transformation of a system
- Cycle 1 (Irreversible):
via via
- Cycle 2 (Reversible):
via via
Thus resulting in:
Result:
is reversible and path-independent - Depends only on initial and final states
- Entropy is a property
where is path-independent and is path-dependent
Impacts systems Isolated Systems and Non-Isolated Systems differently.

Properties:
- Path dependent!
- Always positive
- Reversible
