Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The irreversible thermodynamic processes are:

The conversion of work to heat by friction

The free expansion of a gas

The slow and adiabatic expansion of a gas is a reversible process, while the spontaneous flow of heat from a hot body to a cooler body is a natural, irreversible process, but it is not a thermodynamic process per se.
