Question

Which of the following statements is correct about a reversible process?

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

**Energy transfer** first law ΔU = Q - W, W includes P-V work, shaft work, electrical work, Q includes conduction Fourier law, convection, radiation Stefan-Boltzmann, distinction important because work is controllable, heat spontaneous from hot to cold, entropy associated with heat not work, explaining why heat engine efficiency <100%. A reversible process can be reversed, restoring the system and surroundings to their original states without net external changes, requiring quasi-static conditions and no dissipation. Option D is correct. Using first law ΔU = Q - W, W = ∫ P dV, isobaric W = P ΔV, isothermal W = n R T ln(V₂/V₁), adiabatic P
