yes since it is law of energy balance so irrespective of the process it can be applied to any process but small change comes when we deal with reversible and irreversible processes.
it can be explained in text form :
please give attention to the text;
CHANGE IN TOTAL ENERGY( it is sum of change in macroscopic kinetic energy and change in macroscopic potential energy and change in internal energy,U) = HEAT TAKEN BY THE SYSTEM {actually heat taken by the medium which we use often an ideal gas}(sum of heat given to the system from outside+ heat generated with in the system ) + WORK DONE BY THE MEDIUM OR SYSTEM {again it includes all kind of works such as expansion work shaft work electrical work etc. also when the process is IRREVERSIBLE it includes internal work which is consumed to overcome the friction}
for reversible processes there is no dissipation of internal heat and internal work in that case we consider that the piston cylinder which we use to explain first law is frictionless . and also since they have a characteristic property of INFINITE SLOWNESS the reversible process can be considered at equilibrium at each state.
For irreversible processes the heat is generally generates with in the system because we do not use the friction less piston cylinder arrangement.
First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy can be converted from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed.Second Law of Thermodynamics: The second law of thermodynamics states that for any process occurring in a closed system, the entropy increases for an irreversible system and remains constant for a reversible system, but never decreases.
isobaric process
The entropy of the universe is increasing
It is a function/property that remains constant throughout a rotating machine,i.e in an adiabatic irreversible process relative to the rotating component.
It's the first law of thermodynamics that is applicable when a trre is inflated.If both tyre and pump is considered a part of system than no change in work done. But if a trye with control volume is considered and tyre is inlated , then it's an isolated system with adabatic compressionj taking place. AS we know Q= U +PV. AS process is adiabatic Q is 0 . Increse in pressure or volume or both is accompanied by increase in internal energy of system. At the same time PV(Change ) is the work done by the person inflating the gas.
Rusting is an irreversible process.

applications of thermodynamics in textile
in general entropy will not decrease in a spontaneous process since spontaneous process are all irreversible ones. entropy can be reversed only through an reversible process by an ideal engine but it is impossible to create such an engine by violating second law of thermodynamics. hence entropy cannot be decreased practically
Very simple The Reversible Process: That type of process that work cycle, it mean to complete revolution and come back to the initial point from where it start. Example are Carnot Cycle. Two and Four stroke engine. Irreversible Process: Opposite to reversible process called irreversible process. Example are Electricity
An irreversible process occurs whenever there is an increase in entropy. Entropy can be thought of as a measure of "wasted" energy, that is, energy that cannot be converted to useful work. Therefore any process which results in an increase in entropy wastes some portion of energy that cannot be recovered, and so the process is irreversible.
First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy can be converted from one form to another, but cannot be created or destroyed.Second Law of Thermodynamics: The second law of thermodynamics states that for any process occurring in a closed system, the entropy increases for an irreversible system and remains constant for a reversible system, but never decreases.
Irreversible means unable to be undone or reversed. If something has done "irreversible damage", it means that the damage will not heal.
Evaporation is a reversible process.
A Bunsen burner is an object: it is not a process of any kind.
isobaric process
Iron sulfide is a chemical compound. A process or reaction may be reversible or irreversible; a compound isn't.
