A thermodynamically reversible process is an idealized process that occurs infinitely slowly and remains in equilibrium at all stages, allowing the system to return to its initial state without leaving any change in the surroundings. In contrast, an irreversible process occurs spontaneously or with finite speed, involves gradients like temperature or pressure differences, and cannot return both the system and surroundings to their original states without changes.
