Change of entropy in the spontaneous thermalization of two distinct blocks
When two blocks with distinct initial temperatures are placed in thermal contact, heat flows from the hotter block to the cooler until thermal equilibrium is reached. Given the initial temperatures, it is easy to predict the final temperature and, for identical blocks, to find a closed-form expressi...
