Answer: Energy transfer would occur only between the copper bars and the surroundings.

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be noted that in the open system, there is transfer of both energy and mass from the system and also into the system as well.

Assuming the bars were in an open system, the transfer of energy would occur only between the copper bars and the surroundings.
