Reversible Process	Irreversible Process
1) Time is not an important element	1) Time plays a central role
2) Stability and order are vital	2) Instability and order are vital
3) System attains perfection at equilibrium	3) System collapses at equilibrium
4) Reversible system is a closed system	4) Irreversible system is an open system
5) Reversible process is static	5) Irreversible process is dynamic
6) Reversible process is cyclic and repetitive	6) Irreversible process is non-cyclic and non-repetitive
7) Small inputs would give small outputs huge inputs would give huge outputs	7) Small inputs of change would bring about huge out puts of change.
