Variables Used
Irreversibility - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram) - Irreversibility of a process can also be construed as the amount of work to be done to restore the system to the original state.
Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat present in a substance or object.
Entropy at Point 2 - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram K) - Entropy at point 2 is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.
Entropy at Point 1 - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram K) - Entropy at point 1 is the measure of a system’s thermal energy per unit temperature that is unavailable for doing useful work.
Heat Input - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram) - Heat input is the energy transferred to a thermodynamic system, by mechanisms other than thermodynamic work or transfer of matter.
Input Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Input Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat present in the system.
Heat Output - (Measured in Joule per Kilogram) - Heat output is the energy transferred from a thermodynamic system, by mechanisms other than thermodynamic work or transfer of matter.
Output Temperature - (Measured in Kelvin) - Output Temperature is the degree or intensity of heat present outside the system.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
Temperature: 298 Kelvin --> 298 Kelvin No Conversion Required
Entropy at Point 2: 145 Joule per Kilogram K --> 145 Joule per Kilogram K No Conversion Required
Entropy at Point 1: 50 Joule per Kilogram K --> 50 Joule per Kilogram K No Conversion Required
Heat Input: 200 Joule per Kilogram --> 200 Joule per Kilogram No Conversion Required
Input Temperature: 210 Kelvin --> 210 Kelvin No Conversion Required
Heat Output: 300 Joule per Kilogram --> 300 Joule per Kilogram No Conversion Required

What is Irreversibility of a process?

Irreversibility of a process can also be construed as the amount of work to be done to restore the system to the original state. It implies that the amount of heat energy to be supplied in a real process is larger than the thermodynamic limit. If the value of irreversibility is zero that means the process is reversible. If the value is greater than 1, then the process is irreversible.

How to Calculate Irreversibility?

Irreversibility calculator uses Irreversibility = (Temperature*(Entropy at Point 2-Entropy at Point 1)-Heat Input/Input Temperature+Heat Output/Output Temperature) to calculate the Irreversibility, Irreversibility formula is defined as a measure of the degree to which a thermodynamic process deviates from reversibility, reflecting the generation of entropy due to irreversible processes in a system. Irreversibility is denoted by I12 symbol.
