   In thermodynamics every reverse transformation (transfer, conversion) is a balanced transformation but are every balance transformation is reverse and why?

   I dont understand what is a 'balance transformation' or 'reverse transformation'?

   I suspect that "reverse transformation" means "reversible process." Maybe "balanced transformation" means "quasistatic process"?

   If I am understanding your question (which I may not be)...You can have a non-reversible process but still must have a conservation of energy. The quality of the balance depends on one's ability to account for the losses in an irreversible system.
