Question
Classify and explain the thermodynamic system.
✓
Answer
Thermodynamic systems can be classified as open, closed, and isolated systems on the basis of the possible transfer of heat and matter to the environment.
- An open system is a system that freely allows the exchange of energy and matter with its environment.
- A closed system does not allow the exchange of matter but allows energy to be transferred.
- An isolated system is completely sealed (isolated from its environment). Matter, as well as heat, cannot be exchanged with its environment.
