analyses. Thecommon continuity equation (Q=AV) follows directly from the Reynolds transporttheorem and is perhaps the most often used conservation relation at the macroscopiclevel. Our emphasis here is concerned with energy and mass (as a carrier of energy).System definition is fundamental to a rigorous study of the thermodynamics of nonlivingand living bodies. Living systems frequently include a portion of the environment aroundthe living entities. Creative definition of the system can greatly affect the ease ordifficulty of solving a problem of interest. Failure to define clearly the system andboundary properties leads to an imprecise and improper discussion of systems, whichexplains many difficulties in thermodynamic problem solving.B. What is
