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.

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?
