The infinite heat reservoir is an abstraction, often approximated in engineering applications by large bodies of air

Question:

The infinite heat reservoir is an abstraction, often approximated in engineering applications by large bodies of air or water. Apply the closed-system form of the energy balance [Eq. (2.3)] to such a reservoir, treating it as a constant-volume system. How is it that heat transfer to or from the reservoir can be nonzero, yet the temperature of the reservoir remains constant?

Eq. (2.3)
