Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 1.6CP
The location of the boundary between the system and the surroundings is a choice that must be made by the thermodynamicist. Consider a beaker of boiling water in an airtight room. Is the system open or closed if you place the boundary just outside the liquid water? Is the system open or closed if you place the boundary just inside the walls of the room?
