Thermal Equilibrium

Two bodies exchange heat

○Not Started

Parameters (equal c)

T₁ (°C)90

T₂ (°C)20

Mass m₁ (kg)4

Mass m₂ (kg)2

T_{eq} = \frac{m_1T_1 + m_2T_2}{m_1 + m_2} = 66.7\,°\text{C}

• Heat flows from the hotter body to the colder one • The exchange stops at a common temperature • The heavier body pulls the equilibrium toward its own temperature
