constant pressure system
I still don't get a constant pressure system. Like what is an example of it?
Re: constant pressure system
An example of a constant pressure system is a piston-arranged gas container. The expansion of the gas allows it to push the piston away, maintaining the same internal pressure by expanding its volume.
In contrast, a constant volume system has a hard limit on its volume, so if the gas tries to expand inside of it, the pressure increases.

Re: constant pressure system
An open system is always constant pressure because the system is exposed to the air which is at constant pressure.
