Thank you Jano L. Starting to make sense now. I have also read that this was idealized (i.e. compression branch in the vapor-compression cycle, idealized to be reversible adiabatic). In reality, it is not ideal but the entropy increases a little by the time the super heated vapor leaves...

Thanks for your reply, dauto. Yes. Forget (heat) Engines. I'd speculate they aren't reversible as the chemical reaction, in their circumstance, cannot be reversed. I wanted to ask that (heat) Pumps, albeit working really fast, are said to be reversible/quasistatic. Take, for example...

Quasi(Almost) Equilibrium(Static) Processes <---> Real Life Processes Hi, I am posting here for the first time, hence, should I have violated any forum rules I am sorry and kindly advise. I am a novice so please bear with me. Thank you. I read everywhere (in textbooks) that a...
