Isolated system


An isolated system is one devoid of interactions of any kind with the surroundings (including mass exchange, heat, and work interactions).

An isolated system cannot exchange any heat, work, or matter with the surroundings, while an open system can exchange all heat, work and matter; a closed system can exchange only energy(as heat or work) but not matter, with its surroundings.
