Heat exchange is always irreversible only for the processes which are not infinitesimally slow (or quasi-static or quasi-equilibruum) processes. In Carnot-Cycle heating is done infinitesimally slowly, that's why it is reversible.

for the derivation of Boltzmman factor you can see the book SEARS AND SALINGER of thermodynamics. In this book much simpler method is used.

Q. Distinguish b/w degenerate energy level & a degenerate gas ? ANS: Degenerate level: the energy levels that have more than one energy states with same energy are known as degenerate energy level. whereas the gas which shows departure from the...
