Irreversibility

Irreversibility is a thermodynamic property denoting a process that cannot be reversed to restore both the system and its surroundings to their initial states, distinguishing it from reversible processes by the generation of entropy and the inherent directionality imposed by the Second Law of Thermodynamics.
