The temperature, pressure and chemical potential of an ideal monoatomic gas.
Answer to Problem 39P
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The entropy of an ideal gas is,
Calculation:
To get the temperature, we partial differentiate with respect to U,
Partial differentiating with respect to A, we get the pressure as,
Partial differentiating the entropy with respect to N, we get the chemical potential as,
Conclusion:
The temperature, pressure and entropy are given by:

- Explain the difference between time-dependent and independent SchrÖdinger's equations.arrow_forwardA (nonconstant) harmonic function takes its maximum value and its minimum value on the boundary of any region (not at an interior point). Thus, for example, the electrostatic potential V in a region containing no free charge takes on its largest and smallest values on the boundary of the region; similarly, the temperature T of a body containing no sources of heat takes its largest and smallest values on the surface of the body. Prove this fact (for two-dimensional regions) as follows: Suppose that it is claimed that u(x, y) takes its maximum value at some interior point a; this means that, at all points of some small disk about a, the values of u(x, y) are nolarger than at a. Show by Problem 36 that such a claim leads to a contradiction (unless u = const.). Similarly prove that u(x, y) cannot take its minimum value at an interior point.arrow_forwardshow full work equationarrow_forward
