Two bodies at different temperatures T1 and T2, if brought in thermal contact do not necessarily settle to the mean temperature (T1+T2)/2?
No, thats necessarily not important to settle them at mean temperatures. Lets first see the mathematical expression for what happens when two bodies with different temperatures r in contact.
When they r brought in contact a heat current will establish between both the bodies which will contiue to flo until the temperature of both the bodies r equal .
Let before the bodies settle at equal temperature the heat exchange between them is Q and the temperature at thermal equiibrium is T
Then
Heat lost by body at higher temperature is Q = M1C1(T1-T)
Similar amount of heat is gained by the second body so Q= M2C2(T-T2)
then M1C1(T1-T)= M2C2(T-T2)
Then T = ( M1C1T1 + M2C2T2 ) / (M1C1+M2C2)
So , Heres ur answer.
If two bodies of equal specific heat capacities and masses are brought in contact then they setle at equal temperature of (T1+T2)/2
