Which of the following processes is reversible?

  • Transfer of heat by radiation

  • Electrical heating of a nichrome wire

  • Transfer of heat by conduction

  • Isothermal compression


A.

Transfer of heat by radiation

When two bodies are at different temperatures and seperated by distance, the heat transfer between them is called as radiation heat transfer. A reversible process in which system and surroundings can be restored to the initial state from the final state without producing any changes in the thermodynamic properties called revrsible process.

(a) It is the process by which heat is transmitted from one place to another without heating the intervening medium. Hence it is not reversible process.

b) Nichrome wire is made of alloys and has high resistance. When current is passed through it, heat is produced. So, here electrical energy is converted into heat energy. Hence, it is not a
reversible process.

(c) It is the process by which heat is transmitted from one point to another through a substance in the direction of fall of temperature without the actual movement of the particles of the substances themselves. Hence, it cannot be reversible.

d) Isothermal compression is reversible, for example-Carnot cycle, Heat engine. Thus, choice (d) is correct.
