Suppose that a system A is placed into thermal contact with a heat reservoir A' which is at an absolute temperature T' and that A absorbs an amount of heat Q in this process. Show that the entropy increase delta (S) of A in this process satisfies the inequality delta (S) >= Q/T' where the equals sign is only valid if the initial temperature of A differs infinitesimally from the temperature T' of A'.
