Don't be so hard on yourself. I always thought of you more like the crazy old uncle.
 
Thank you Chet! I am a Master student in thermal engineering and I find this extremely helpful. [emoji4]

I don't know about the uncle part, but...
 
You're the best, Chet!
 
Many thanks for your contribution Chet, I've read many useful answers you gave here, before signing in!

If I just could ask a thing...Your insight talks about entropy change in closed systems. However, doesn't the last example depict an isolated system?

Isolated systems are a subset of closed systems.

I've thought that this could be the motivation. Thanks for your confirm!
