1.3 Some Basic Terms of Thermodynamics
(1) System: A system is defined as that part of the universe which is under investigation.

(2) Surroundings: The part of the universe other than the system is known as surroundings

Universe $=$ System $+$ Surroundings


Types of System

(i) Isolated System - A system that cannot exchange mass and/or energy from the surroundings,

For example:- Ice, milk, or any other liquid kept in a thermos flask


(ii) Closed system - It exchange only energy from the surroundings,

For example:-

(a) Water in the closed bottle (boundaries of closed system act as a conductor of heat)

(b) Heating of ${C_a}C{O_3}$ in sealed tube, etc.


(iii) Open system - It exchanges energy and mass both from the surroundings,

For example:- Trees in a forest, tea in an open cup, etc.


(iv) Macro System - A very large number of molecules/atoms are present in this system Properties of a macro system is called macro properties,

For example:- pressure, temperature, density, composition, viscosity, surface tension, colour, refractive index, etc.


(v) State of the system - The system in which the values of macro properties are definite. It is said to be in the definite state, Thus, the state of the system is determined by its macro properties.


(vi) State Functions - The properties of a system which depend only on initial and final states, and do not depend on its path,

For example:- Free energy, enthalpy, internal energy, etc.


(vii) Extensive Property - The property which depends on the amount of substance present in the system,

For example:- Mass volume, Heat capacity, Entropy, Enthalpy, Free energy, Internal energy etc.


(viii) Intensive Property - These do not depend on the amount of substance present in the system,

For example:- Temperature, Density, viscosity, Melting point, Boiling point, Surface tension, Refractive index, etc.
