Thermodynamics-open-access

Thermodynamics is that part of science which is concerned with the conditions that material systems may assume and the changes in conditions that may occur either spontaneously or as a result of interactions between systems. The word "thermodynamics" was derived from the Greek words therme (heat) and dynamics (force). The key points here: the first law which is also known as Law of Conservation of Energy, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system. And the second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of any isolated system always increases. There are three types of systems in thermodynamics- open, closed, and isolated. An open system can exchange both energy and matter with its surroundings. The stovetop example would be an open system, because heat and water vapour can be lost to the air.
