Thermodynamic bulk properties (pressure, energy and entropy densities) of strongly interacting matter are usually discussed in the infinite-volume limit. We here re-derive these quantities in finite regions of space, in different geometries, in order to quantify finite-size effects. This study is motivated by the fact that, in heavy-ion experiments, the evolution of the produced quark-gluon plasma is often described by hydrodynamic models, which compute the evolution of these bulk properties in discretized space(time) cells.
