What is Control Volume vs System in Thermodynamics about?

The document discusses the key terms "system" and "control volume" as they relate to thermodynamics. A system refers to a fixed mass with boundaries that may change over time, as seen in the example of a piston-cylinder arrangement. While useful for simple examples, defining systems becomes impractical for more complex flows. Alternatively, a control volume establishes a fixed boundary where mass, momentum, and energy are allowed to cross. This control volume approach is more commonly used in fluid dynamics
