A dynamical model has been developed to study the evolution of a quark-gluon system towards equilibrium with the gluons equilibrating prior to the quarks and the quarks executing random Brownian motion in the gluonic heat bath. We estimate the thermalization times for various quark flavors and heavy flavor production rates within this model.
