Strictly speaking, the law
applies not to changes in temperature but to changes in entropy--a
related
but different property. What's more, it applies only to systems in
thermodynamic equilibrium.

Does equilibrium require a steady state (constant direction of flow?) or
can it apply to a oscillating system? Is a clock escapement in
equilibrium? Balance wheel and pendulum?
