Open Systems

[TanveerDhaliwal3G]

Which equations can be applied to open systems?

[Aliya Jain 2B]

Since open systems are permeable to energy and matter, im pretty sure all thermodynamic equations can be applied

[Deepika Reddy 1A]

I agree. Open systems are able to exchange matter and energy with its surroundings. I think the important thing is looking at whether the pressure is constant or not or if the volume is constant or not in deciding what equations to use.

[Natalie Benitez 1E]

How does one determine whether a system is open and what does that say about pressure and volume?

[Aliya Jain 2B]

I think a question will explicitly tell you if the system is open

[pmokh14B]

Any equations, depending on whether or not the work/effect on the system is adiabetic/isothermal/isochoric, etc...

[JesseAuLec1Dis1G]

I think most equations can. Most of the time though an open system is to be considered at constant pressure though.

[Thomas Gimeno]

You can use almost any equation with an open system you just have to be cognoscente of how the open system affects your variables.

[Bai Rong Lin 2K]

I believe you are able to use most equations.

[kristinalaudis3e]

since open systems allow for the exchange of matter and energy, I think that any thermodynamic equation can be used so long as you pay attention to if it has constant pressure and volume

[Sejal Parsi 3K]

I believe almost all equations work, but you would have to be aware of how an open system affects the variables.

[Lorena_Morales_1K]

what is the difference between open and closed systems?

[Lorena_Morales_1K]

which equations work on closed systems?

[DMaya_2G]

I think all of the equations should work.

[Dominic Benna 2E]

All thermodynamic equations should work because open systems deal with matter and heat.

[Brandon Le 3C]

I believe that most equations would work for the open system, although you’d have to make sure that the system has constant pressure and volume.
