System
Collection of matter within prescribed and identifiable boundaries. Either
an open one, or a closed one, referring to whether mass transfer or does
not take place across the boundary.
Surroundings
Is usually restricted to those particles of matter external to the system
which may be affected by changes within the system, and the surroundings
themselves may form another system.

Boundary
A physical or imaginary surface, enveloping the system and separating it
from the surroundings.
Property
Is any quantity whose changes are defined only by the end states and by
the process.

Pressure
The normal force exerted per unit area of the surface within the system.
Temperature
Is the degree of hotness or coldness of the system.
Internal Energy
The property of a system covering all forms of energy arising from the
internal structure of the substance.
