Explain why
(a) Two bodies at different temperature `T_(1) and T_(2)` if brought in thermal contact do not necessarily settle to the mean temperature `(T_(1)+T_(2))//2` ?
(b) The coolant in a chemical or nuclear plant (i.e., the liquid used to prevent different parts of a plant from getting too hot)should have high specific heat. Comment.
(c) Air pressure in a car tyre increases during driving . Why?
(d) The climate of a harbour town is more temperature (i.e., without extremes of heat and cold) than that of a town in a desert at the same latitude. Why?

Two bodies at different temperature T_(1) and T_(2) . If brought in thermal contact do not mecesserily settle to the mean temperature (T_(1)+T_(2))//2 .

Air pressure in a car tyre increases during driving. Explain.

Assertion : Two bodies at different temperatures if brought in thermal contact do not necessary settle to the mean temperature Reason : The two bodies may have different thermal capacities.

Two curves are given at temperatures T_(1) and T_(2) in an isothermal process, then-

Assertion : Air pressure in a car tyre increase during driving. Reason : Absolute zero temperature is not zero energy temperature.
