Here are the key points about thermodynamic systems:

## Types of Thermodynamic Systems

- **Open system**: Can exchange both matter and energy with surroundings[1][3]
- Example: Beaker with reactants, steam turbine, pool of water
- **Closed system**: Can only exchange energy, not matter, with surroundings[1][3]
- Example: Reactants in closed vessel, cylinder with closed valve
- **Isolated system**: Cannot exchange matter or energy with surroundings[1][3]
- Example: Reactants in thermos flask, insulated piston-cylinder arrangement

## Thermodynamic System Concepts

- Thermodynamic system refers to part of universe being studied, surroundings are the
rest[1]
- System and surroundings exchange energy through a boundary[1]
- Thermodynamic systems can undergo internal transformations[1]
- Zeroth law: If two systems are in equilibrium with a third, they are in equilibrium with each
other[2]

## Branches of Thermodynamics

- **Classical**: Macroscopic approach analyzing matter behavior[3]


- **Statistical**: Microscopic approach analyzing individual molecules[3]
- **Chemical**: Studying work and heat in chemical reactions[3]
- **Equilibrium**: Studying transformations as systems approach equilibrium[3]

In summary, thermodynamic systems are classified by their interaction with surroundings,


and thermodynamics studies the energy transformations within these systems using various
approaches[1][2][3][4].
