'thermodynamic processes are irreversible'
please place a cup of water in the freezer for 4 hours, remove the ice for 4 more hours, place the cup of water into a pot and bring to a boil until it evaporates as steam, then type the above again with a straight face
thank you ... and remember:
thermodynamic change states cannot be precisely restored to initial states by infinitesimal changes in some property of the system without expenditure of energy
that includes the passive evaporation waiting for the ice to melt
