Engineering Science<p>A system boundary may follow a physical boundary, may be an imaginary surface (flow inlets &amp; outlets), or may move/change shape.

Engineering Science<p>The Zeroth Law of Thermodynamics was formulated after both the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics.

He dreamt up his demon to deal with the very odd 2nd Law of Thermodynamics (which is not a law like others, and can not be derived from first priciples).
