For a reversible process, necessary condition is

Question

For a reversible process, necessary condition is (A) that, in the whole cycle of the system, the loss of any type of heat energy should be zero (B) that the process should be too fast (C) that the process should be slow so that the working substance should remain in thermal and mechanical equilibrium with the surroundings. (D) that the loss of energy should be zero and it should be quasistatic

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Quasistatic takes care of the thermal, mechanical and chemical equilibrium (thermodynamic equilibria). No dissipative forces like friction, viscosity or electrical resistance etc. must be there which create a loss of energy.
