Entropy change of an ideal gas determination with no reversible process

As is stressed in literature [1], [2], the entropy change, deltaS, during a given irreversible process is determined through the substitution of the actual process by a reversible one which carries the system between the same equilibrium states. This can be done since entropy is a state function. Ho...
