Quoting%20commentary for Makhshirin 5:10

הַמְעָרֶה מֵחַם לְחַם, וּמִצּוֹנֵן לְצוֹנֵן, וּמֵחַם לְצוֹנֵן, טָהוֹר. מִצּוֹנֵן לְחַם, טָמֵא. רַבִּי שִׁמְעוֹן אוֹמֵר, אַף הַמְעָרֶה מֵחַם לְחַם וְכֹחוֹ שֶׁל תַּחְתּוֹן יָפֶה מִשֶּׁל עֶלְיוֹן, טָמֵא:

[If] one pours a hot [pure liquid] into a hot [impure liquid], or a cold [pure liquid] into a cold [impure liquid], or a hot [pure liquid] into a cold [impure liquid, [the upper liquid remains] pure. [If one pours] a cold [pure liquid] into a hot [impure liquid, the upper liquid becomes] impure. Rabbi Shimon says: Even [if] one [pours] a hot [pure liquid] into a hot [impure liquid] it is impure if the strength [temperature] of the lower one is greater than that of the upper one.
