We address both irreversible and reversible thermalization of two finite blocks with different thermal capacities and different initial temperatures. An instructive comparison between the two cases is developed and the increase of total entropy for the irreversible case is shown to be a direct consequence of the arithmetic–geometric mean inequality.
