Popis: The thermal response of a closed thermodynamic system perturbed by random fluctuations of the heat transfer rate through its boundary is studied by means of stochastic differential equations, in analogy with the mesoscopic thermodynamics approach. It is shown that the probability density of the thermodynamic beta (inverse temperature), which reflects the system randomisation due to the perturbation, can be significantly different from that of the perturbation itself.
