Thermodynamic Systems Thermodynamics: Study of the effects of work, heat and energy on a system System – region under study which is separated by a boundary (real or imagined) Work, Heat, and Matter can go either way across the boundary. Example: flask, balloon, water, and steam that was heated. Surroundings - environment outside the system. Example: the classroom Steam does Work on the Balloon The steam’s internal energy has decreased
