The gas is enclosed between two walls, which initially have different temperatures. After making one of the walls adiabatic, the system returns to equilibrium. We notice two distinct modes of heat transport and associated time scales: one connected with traveling heat front and the other with internal energy diffusion. At the heat front, which moves at the speed of sound, pressure, temperature, and density change abruptly, leaving lower values behind. It is unlike shock, sound wave, or thermal wave. The front moves multiple times between the walls and is the dominant heat transport mode until surpassed by diffusion. We found that it can constitute an order 1 factor in shaping the dynamics of internal energy outflow. We found that cooling such a system is quicker than heating and that hotter bodies cool down quicker than colder ones. The latter is known as Mpemba effect.</div><div class="" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class="" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">We warmly welcome everyone to attend the talk and the Soft Matter Coffee Break after the seminar, held in room 4.51 (4th floor).</font></div><div class="" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 14px;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class="" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">Maria Ekiel-Jeżewska</font></div><div class="" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">Maciej Lisicki</font></div><div class="" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class="">Piotr Szymczak</font></div><div class="" style="font-family: HelveticaNeue; margin: 0px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"><font face="HelveticaNeue" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class="">
