Question

Example of open, close and isolated system in thermodynamics system

Answers

GPT 3.5
- An example of an open system in thermodynamics is a pot of boiling water on a stove. Heat is transferred from the stove to the pot, causing the water to boil and evaporate. The water and steam can also escape into the surrounding environment, allowing mass to flow in and out of the system.

- An example of a closed system is a refrigerator. Within the refrigerator, heat is extracted from the food and transferred to the surroundings through the condenser coils. The mass of the system remains constant as there is no exchange of matter with the outside environment.

- An example of an isolated system is a sealed insulated thermos containing hot coffee. The coffee remains hot for a long period of time due to the thermal insulation, preventing heat transfer with the surroundings. Additionally, there is no exchange of matter with the outside environment, making it an isolated system.
