The Process of Globalization Earth (Photo credit: tonynetone) An non-reversible process is a process in a system that changes from a state to another one losing energy. This energy cannot be recovered if the process is inverted. The magnitude used in order to measure irreversibility is entropy. Entropy can be considered as a kind of energy that cannot provide work. In nature‚ all processes are non-reversible but some of them can be more entropic than other ones. The existence of entropy

occurs. Even though aging happens to everyone‚ humans do have the ability to slow down how quickly they age. The aging process as it is known involves many different theories. One theory is that our genes determine the length of time humans have to live their lives. Some scientists have said that if this is true‚ there should be a way to manipulate that age-figuring gene to make people live longer lives. Another theory as to why aging happens is that over time our bodies‚ along with its DNA‚ cannot

A bottleneck is a constraint within the system that limits throughput. It is that point in the manufacturing process where flow thins to a narrow stream (Chase‚ Jacobs‚ & Aquilano‚ 2006). An example of a bottleneck would be seating issues within a restaurant producing long wait times
