Thermodynamic System

What are three types of thermodynamic systems?

1. Isolated: No exchange of heat, matter or work with the environment.
2. Closed: Exchange of heat and work, but no exchange of matter.
3. Open: Exchange of heat, work and matter.

Table 37.1: Thermodynamic systems

	Exchanges with the environment:	Does not exchange with the environment:	Example
Isolated		Heat
		Matter	A very, very good thermos
		Work
Closed	Heat	Matter	Greenhouse
	Work
Open	Heat
	Matter		Ocean
	Work

What are four thermodynamic processes?

The four processes are systems going through changes in which a certain property is fixed or controlled:

1. Isobaric - pressure is constant
2. Isothermal - temperature is constant
3. Isochoric - volume is constant
4. Adiabatic - heat does not enter or leave (i.e. similar to isothermal)

What are six state functions seen in thermodynamics?

1. Temperature
2. Pressure
3. Volume
4. Entropy
5. Enthalpy
6. Gibbs free energy
