thermodynamics - Entropy change of an irreversible process



I know that there's a lot of questions about this subject but I couldn't find specifically what I want to ask so here it is:


One of the consequences of Clausius's theorem is the fact that for any transformation we have $dS\geq\delta Q/T $


my question is if my system goes through an irreversible process then do I get $dS>\delta Q/T $ or equality is also possible?


thanks for any clarification.

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
