A thermodynamically irreversible process occur at a fast pace where the previous step is not in equilibrium with the steps carry forwarded.

Thanks for your answer, can you give me a example.

ex-put some weight W on the piston and allow it to compress little by little by putting some weight by amount dW so that we can bring back the process to the previous stage.Each process will be in equilibrium with each other
In irrreversible process,it is sudden expansion of gas in the cylinder in which piston is kept above
