a. Define the three basic types of thermodynamic systems (open, closed and isolated) and give one example each. Do ideal systems exist in reality and why/why not? b. In common central heating systems water circulates in a closed heating pipe through the building, passing radiators and walls. Then it gets reheated in a boiler. Which type of thermodynamic system would best describe a central heating system? Why?
