41. According to this definition, work performed adiabatically is in general accompanied by friction within the thermodynamic system or body. 42. The conservation of energy applyed to thermodynamic systems . talk ) 20 : 56, 16 June 2010 ( UTC) 43. The "'thermodynamic free energy "'is the amount of work that a thermodynamic system can perform. 44. More generally, in a thermodynamic system , the working fluid is a liquid or gas that absorbs or transmits energy. 45. Kangas states that Odum then also concluded that as thermodynamic systems , ecosystems should also obey the force-flux law. 46. A thermodynamic system is a macroscopic object, the microscopic details of which are not explicitly considered in its thermodynamic description. 47. The second law of thermodynamics describes constraints on the amount of useful work which can be extracted from a thermodynamic system . 48. The term'thermodynamic system 'is used to refer to bodies of matter and energy in the special context of thermodynamics. 49. Thus the description of non-equilibrium thermodynamic systems is a field theory, more complicated than the theory of equilibrium thermodynamics. 50. It claims that thermodynamic systems can be represented by Riemannian geometry, and that statistical properties can be derived from the model.
