friction loses are not reversible, as that is lost heat.
heat transfer is reversible with energy applied. Same with elevation change, Temperature change. Eg, a hot rock in a room cools off, but can be reversed by heating the rock.
Mixing of two fluids can sometimes be reversed with special processes and with difficulty. Eg distillation.
Boundary work ... don't know what this means
