Question

The absolute closed system is not applicable but it can still thrive despite the fact that it is not in interaction with the external environmental forces? Do you agree with the statement? Support your answer with the help of practical example

Answer 1

Answer:

• A thermodynamic system is a body of matter and/or radiation, confined in space by walls, with defined permeabilities, which separate it from its surroundings. The surroundings may include other thermodynamic systems, or physical systems that are not thermodynamic systems. A wall of a thermodynamic system may be purely notional, when it is described as being 'permeable' to all matter, all radiation, and all forces.

• A widely used distinction is between isolated, closed, and open thermodynamic systems. An isolated thermodynamic system has walls that are non-conductive of heat and perfectly reflective of all radiation, that are rigid and immovable, and that are impermeable to all forms of matter and all forces. (Some writers use the word 'closed' when here the word 'isolated' is being used.)

Answer 2

Yes, I agree with the given statement.

• Closed systems are the internal sub-units of an organization that do get affected by the external environment.
• the closed system approach is adopted in organizations that do not require any interaction with the external environment.
• Closed systems have the advantage of being efficient because there are clear procedures that are not affected by the influences of the external environment.

• practical example: An assembly line is a closed system because the day-to-day activities that take place are not dependent on or influenced by external forces, such as what are the interactions between mid-level and executive-level management, what the workers of another assembly line are doing, etc.

• Assembly line workers perform their duties without having to worry about any interruptions by any event such as a staff meeting.
• Assembly line workers must also obey to a rigid set of guidelines that ensure efficiency and productivity.

Hence, a closed system can still thrive despite the fact that it does not interact with the external environmental forces.
