A thermodynamic system is a defined portion of matter chosen for analysis of energy, temperature, and interactions with its surroundings.

A thermodynamic system is separated from its surroundings by boundaries through which energy and matter may flow.

Quantum matter/thermodynamic system.

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
