Is a quasi-static but irreversible process possible?

[QUOTE="goodphy, post: 5734300, member: 492724"] Thanks you! you and Chestermiller suggest examples of a quasi-static and irreversible process. I've searched the internet and found that the reversible process is quasi-static but its converse is not guaranteed. So, I think the definition of the reversible process given in my book has some hole. So, [B]the true definition of the reversible process is that the reversible process is the process which doesn't change a total entropy of the system and its surrounding or simply the entropy of the universe, right?[/B] [B]Could you tell me why the reversible process has to be quasi-static?[/B] Why the process which is done pretty much fast so never be quasi-static has to be an irreversible process?
