| 11. | Ponette's precocious task is to come to terms with the irreversibility of time.
|
| 12. | Opponents have used that incident as an example of the irreversibility of the death penalty.
|
| 13. | It is the cause of the irreversibility.
|
| 14. | Current research in dynamical systems offers one possible mechanism for obtaining irreversibility from reversible systems.
|
| 15. | A prime example of irreversibility is in the transfer of heat by conduction or radiation.
|
| 16. | See also Arrow of time, Irreversibility, and Entropy ( arrow of time ).
|
| 17. | According to Prigogine, determinism loses its explanatory power in the face of irreversibility and instability.
|
| 18. | This minimizes the inevitable irreversibilities associated with heat transfer to the working fluid ( water ).
|
| 19. | See the article on the second law of thermodynamics for a further discussion of such irreversibilities.
|
| 20. | Due to the inherent irreversibility of heat production for useful work, efficiency levels are decreased.
