I am confused over what the volume V stands for in thermodynamics.
Is it the smallest possible region of space containing all particles being studied? If so does it have to be connected?
Is it the volume enclosed by the surroundings of the system? If so, i thought the system was supposed to be fixed over time, but then why does one define quantities such as dV?
I hope you understand my confusion and can help me understand.
