What is a system in thermodynamics?
A system in thermodynamics is a region where we focus our attention, and it can be open, closed, or isolated.
What is the surrounding in thermodynamics?
The surrounding in thermodynamics is the rest of the universe, and it does not change in any way during any process that the system undergoes.
What are the basic terms associated with a system in thermodynamics?
The basic terms associated with a system in thermodynamics include microscopic variables (like position, velocity, kinetic energy, etc.) and macroscopic variables (like temperature and pressure).
What is an open system in thermodynamics?
An open system in thermodynamics is one to which you can add or remove matter.
What is an isolated system in thermodynamics?
An isolated system in thermodynamics is a system to which neither matter nor heat can be added or removed.
