Systems A system is an entity which maintains its existence through the mutual interaction of its parts.
Types of systems: Open = matter and energy can freely flow in and out Closed = open to energy, closed to matter Isolated = closed to energy and matter
What makes systems work: Different parts with processes that transfer matter and energy among them Reservoirs = parts of a system where energy (any type) and matter are stored Flux = the flow (transfer) of energy and matter
