Several systems are described below. For each, determine if it's at steady state, equilibrium, or neither. Determind also whether any of these adjectives are applicable to the system: isothermal, isobaric, isochoric, adiabatic, closed or open.

c) The air inside a hot air balloon: The ballon rises from the ground to a height of 1000 feet.

d) The air inside a hot air balloon: The balloon floats at 1000 feet, stationary. The air maintains a constant temperature.

e) A wood furnace and its contents: Wood is piled in the furnace. The wood is burning at the beginning and the furnace and its contents are at uniform T=300F. 10minutes later (end of process) the temp is still at 300F.

f)) Section of pipe: Water flows through the pipe at a constant flow rate and constant uniform temp.

g) Water in a sink" The process begins after the faucet is turned off. The water is initially 90F,ambient air is at 70F. This continues 24 hours, during which evaporation is negligible and no water is removed or added.
