The System Concept ◼ A system in any portion of the universe that can be isolated from the rest of the universe for observing and measuring change. ◼ The simplest kind to understand is an isolated system. ◼ the boundary completely prevents the exchange of either matter or energy
The System Concept(2) The nearest thing to an isolated system in the real world is a closed system: exchanges energy with its surroundings, but not matter An open system can exchange both energy and matter across its boundary
