Problem

Two identical thermally insulated vessels interconnected by a tube with a valve contain one mole of the same ideal gas each. The gas temperature in one vessel is equal to T1 a nd in the other, T2. The molar heat capacity of the gas of constant volume equals Cv. The valve having been opened, the gas comes to a new equilibrium state. Find the entropy increment AS of the gas. Demonstrate that AS > 0.
