What is an isolated system?
(N/A) An isolated system is a physical system that does not exchange any matter or energy (heat or work) with its surroundings.
In such a system,the total energy and the total mass remain constant over time.
Mathematically,for an isolated system,the change in internal energy $\Delta U = 0$ and the change in mass $\Delta m = 0$.
