Closed system
From Free net encyclopedia
In thermodynamics, a closed system as contrasted with an isolated system, can exchange heat and work, but not matter, with its surroundings. Here, it is assumed that a thermally isolated (insulated) system can be realized. It is a useful idealization, even if it can only be asymptotically approximated!
