This activity will allow you to identify the system type based on the system boundary you choose. Identify the proper type of system (isolated, closed, or open) to be used in the analysis of each of the following, and explain the reasons for your choice:

1. The Solar System -
2. A kitchen refrigerator -
3. An electrical generator -
4. A hydraulic pump -
5. A personal computer -

Include the following attributes in your response:

• Determine whether a thermodynamic system is isolated, closed, or open.
• Explain the significance of identifying whether a system is isolated, closed, or open. When solving a thermodynamic problem, identify each of the equations you want to use in the solution: (thermodynamic laws, equations of state, process paths, work mode equation, and so forth).
