- **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 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]
