Jun 4, 2017 at 14:53 comment added Chet Miller Do you realize that there is a difference in context between the word "reversible" being applied to a process and the word "reversible" being applied to a chemical reaction? My Answer below focuses on reversible vs irreversible processes.

May 30, 2017 at 0:38 comment added Chet Miller I'm confused. You said that the Gay-Lussac experiment is irreversible and not quasi-static, but then you cite it as a process that is reversible but not quasi-static. Am I interpreting what you said incorrectly?

May 29, 2017 at 22:43 comment added Philip Wood (1) "If I understand correctly, we say a process beginning at a state A(V0,P0,T0) and ending at a state B(V1,P1,T1) is reversible if there exists a process beginning at B and ending at A." That makes all processes beginning at A and ending at B reversible, doesn't it? (2) Surely you yourself have said that the Gay Lussac experiment is both irreversible and not quasi static. Sorry if these remarks seem like negative criticism, but you might like to amend your question or defend what you've written.
