Solution
Thermodynamic system: A thermodynamic system is a finite part of the universe. It is a collection of a large number of particles (atoms and molecules) specified by certain parameters called pressure (P), Volume (V) and Temperature (T). The remaining part of the universe is called the surrounding. Both are separated by a boundary.
Examples: A thermodynamic system can be liquid, solid, gas and radiation.
