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.
