Can the thermodynamic boundary of a system occupy a mass (or volume)?

in Thermodynamics Forum

Answer: 1. The system boundary is contact surface shared by both the system and the surroundings

2. Mathematically the boundary has zero thickness

3. It can not contain any mass or occupy any volume in the space
