ideal cooler [ENDORSED]

[Rebecca Doan 2L]

What does it mean by "ideal" when a system is an ideal cooler?

[Jessica Patzlaff 1A]

I believe this means that energy transfers are efficient and there is no energy transfer in the form of heat.

[Jaewoo Jo 2L]

yeah, i think the ideal cooler means that there is no heat transfer between the system and the surroundings.

[Paula Sing 1J]

I agree, I think that the idea with this and the inclusion of the word "ideal" alludes to the fact that this "cooler" works very well, such that the system can be acknowledged as isolated.

[Shreya Ramineni 2L]

Ideal means no heat or matter transfer between system and surroundings, so the system is isolated.

[Sophie 1I]

The "ideal" cooler does not exchange heat or matter with the surroundings and system.
