A theoretical thermodynamic analysis shows that an irreversible isothermal expansion of an ideal gas in a cylinder equipped with a piston may occur through trajectories involving a simultaneous positive and negative entropy production. Under these trajectories the operation is more efficient than a reversible expansion between the same initial and final states. This unexpected behavior may be explained as a consequence of an entropy coupling between the simultaneous positive and negative entropy production processes.
