System A in Surroundings I is placed in Surroundings II. What will happen?
This chapter supplies answers to that question for the simplest class of
thermodynamic system: a unary, homogeneous, closed, nonreacting, otherwise
simple system. A part of the answer to the question, “What will happen?” is the more
specific question, “What changes will occur in its properties?” Strategies for
computing thermodynamic properties, referred to in Figure 1.4, begin with methods
developed for such simple systems.
