Spontaneous heat flow<br />
between surroundings and<br />
system if the two are at<br />
different temperature<br />

Maximization <strong>of</strong> the entropy <strong>of</strong> the system<br />
plus surroundings when T = T’<br />
Spontaneous heat flow from high to low temperature (dS>0). Maximization <strong>of</strong> total<br />
entropy at equilibrium is analogous to minimization <strong>of</strong> the potential energy at<br />
equilibrium in mechanical systems.<br />
