What is an open system?

[Emily Ngo 1E]

Hi Jonathan,
An open system is a system in which matter and energy can exchange with its surroundings. Some common examples include a car engine and a stove top. More specifically, boiling water on a stove top where water can evaporate and the pot does not insulate is an example of an open system.

[Celine_Nguyen_3K]

An open system is a system into which inputs can flow from the surroundings and outputs can flow out of the system into the surroundings. Both energy and matter flow in and out of the system.

[Amy Kalteis 2F]

Hi! An example of an open system could be a cup of water. The temperature of the water could change as the system (the cup) loses energy to its surroundings, and the amount of water in the cup, or the matter, could change as water evaporates. Hope this helps!

[Samir Panwar]

An open system is one where matter and energy can flow freely within its surroundings. For example, take water in a cup, the amount of water in the cup can change depending on the temperature as some will be evaporated as water loses energy to its surroundings.

[Katherine Li 1A]

An open system can freely exchange matter and energy with its surroundings.

[Reagan Feldman 1D]

In an open system, matter and energy can exchange with the systems surroundings. An example of an open system would be a cup of water, in which there is no lid.

An open system is when the system can freely exchange energy and matter with its surrounding.

[Matthew Li 1B]

open system is where both matter and energy can be transferred in and out the system

[Caitlin Gee 2K]

an open system is a system where both matter and energy can be exchanged with the surroundings.

[Prithvi Raj 3E]

An open system is a system where both matter and energy can be put into and taken out of the system. For instance, an open vial is an open system. You can add material into the vial to increase the matter, or heat the vial up to increase its energy.

Hi Jonathan! To reiterate, an open system is a system in which matter and energy can interact with the surroundings.

[William Huang 1K]

I think an open system is where matter and energy can flow out of the system/ be lost to the surroundings.

[Zoe Dhalla 3I]

An open system can exchange both matter and energy with its surroundings. A pot of boiling water is an open system because a burner supplies energy in the form of heat, and matter in the form of water vapor is lost as the water boils. A closed system can exchange energy but not matter with its surroundings

[Emily Hou 1H]

An open system such as an open beaker would allow exchange of matter and energy.

[Minh Nguyen 3H]

An open system is a type of system that can interact (that is, exchange energy/matter) with the surrounding environment. As such, the initial matter or energy in the system may change, as the surroundings may either give or receive matter/energy to/from the open system.

[Aaron Martinez]

An open system is one where the matter and energy of a system can be exchanged with its surroundings. An example would be an open cup of warm water. The energy of the water can be exchanged with air, and you can add more water to it at any point you want.

[Om Patel]

an open system is one where it can exchange energy and matter with its surroundings

[Nicole Weinstein 3E]

An open system can exchange both matter and energy with its surroundings. A glass of water could be an example of this. You can add more or take away water (matter), and you can heat or cool the water (energy).

[Mara Crooks 1F]

An open system has a flow of energy and/or matter.

In comparison, a closed system is isolated from the surroundings, in regards to matter, but can still exchange energy.

An isolated system is isolated from the surroundings in terms of both matter and energy.

[Katherine Li 1A]

An open system is one in which matter AND energy can leave and enter the system, such as an open beaker, which can be heated up and have substance added. An open system also always has constant pressure.
