Process
In thermodynamics, a process is a change in a system defined by an initial state, a final state, and the path followed. [1] A process, to note, must not be mistaken for a transformation, which is defined by only its initial state and final state. Said another way, a process, in thermodynamics, is defined as a method of operation in which specific quantities of heat and various types of mass and work are transferred across a boundary to and from the system to alter its state. [2]
