A thermodynamic system is a defined portion of matter chosen for analysis of energy, temperature, and interactions with its surroundings.
Description
A thermodynamic system is defined by boundaries that separate it from its environment. Depending on the situation, the system may exchange energy, matter, or both with its surroundings.
The behavior of a system is described by variables such as temperature, energy, and density.
Properties
- defined by boundaries
- may exchange energy and/or matter
- characterized by macroscopic variables
