Abstract
We study the cooling (heating) of a glue-parton gas due to production (destruction) of particles and determine the associated evolution of entropy. We incorporate sharing of the system energy among a changing number of particles. We find that the entropy of an evolving glue-parton gas hardly changes, once the initial thermalized state has been formed, despite a significant change in particle number and temperature.
