Question

How is heat transfer defined in an internally reversible process

Answer 1

Heat transfer for a internally reversible process.

Step-by-step explanation:

Internally reversible means that there is entropy generation ' with in ' the system.

Heat transfer of a process is considered to be reversible if it occurs because of any minute temperature difference between the surrounding and the system .

Let us consider an example ,

Transferring of the heat across the difference in temperature of 0.0001 °C appears as more reversible than for the difference in temperature of 100 °C .

Hence ,

By heating or cooling a system for a number of infinitesimally small steps , we can approximate a reversible process.
