Do you think this expansion is āReversibleā? (I.e. can the process be reversed, with no addition/subtraction of heat or change in temperature, to return the system to its exact original state?) Explain.

Is a process necessarily reversible if there is no exchange of heat between the system in which the process takes place and its surroundings?
Imagine that a sample of liquid refrigerant undergoes expansion followed by compression so that it is back to its original state. Would you expect that to be a reversible process?
