STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Temperature: 86 Kelvin --> 86 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 of a process can also be construed as the amount of work to be done to restore the system to the original state. Irreversibility is denoted by I₁₂ symbol.
