Examples of Isolated systems
In class and discussion we've talked a lot about examples of open and closed systems. I'm having some trouble finding isolated system examples. What are some more examples besides the ones we talked about in class?

Re: Examples of Isolated systems [ENDORSED]
An isolated system is one in which both matter and energy cannot exchange with the surroundings. Not sure if these were shared in your discussion, but some examples of isolated systems include a (very high quality) thermos bottle, a bomb calorimeter, and the universe.

Re: Examples of Isolated systems
My understanding is that in a closed system, you can only have an exchange/transfer in energy (heat), but not in mass.
