Problem

Two ideal gases are separated by a thin, highly conducting partition so that energy can pass between them but the gases do not mix. For each set of temperatures below, indicate whether a net transfer of thermal energy will occur across the partition and, if so, state the direction (from gas A to gas B, or from gas B to gas A). (a) TA=310 K,  TB=298 KT_A = 310\,\text{K},\; T_B = 298\,\text{K} (b) TA=310 K,  TB=310 KT_A = 310\,\text{K},\; T_B = 310\,\text{K}
