2.9 Problems 23 This formula can be simplified if we use Stirling’s approximation. Then the entropy takes the form S = 5 2 NkB + NkB ln [ V N (4πmE 3h2N )3∕2 ] . (2.50) Equation (2.50) is called the Sackur–Tetrode equation and gives the entropy of an ideal gas of indistinguishable particles. We can obtain a relation between the energy and temperature of an ideal gas from the Sackur–Tetrode equation using the thermodynamic equation 1 T = ( 𝜕S 𝜕E ) V,N = 3 2 NkB E , (2.51) where the last term was obtained by taking the derivative of Eq. (2.50). Therefore, E = (3∕2)NkBT. The pressure of the ideal gas can be obtained from the entropy using another thermodynamic relation P T = ( 𝜕S 𝜕V ) E,N = NkB V , (2.52) where, again, the last term was obtained by taking the derivative of Eq. (2.50). Thus, we obtain PV = NkBT, which is the equation of state of an ideal gas. 2.9 Problems Problem 2.1 A bus has nine seats facing forward and eight seats facing backward.

27 3 Thermodynamics 3.1 Introduction The science of thermodynamics began with the observation that matter in the aggregate can exist in macroscopic states which are stable and do not change in time. Once a system reaches its equilibrium state, the system will remain forever in that state unless some external influence acts to change it. This inherent stability and reproducibility of the equilibrium states can be seen everywhere in the world around us. Thermodynamics has been able to describe, with remarkable accuracy, the macroscopic behavior of a huge variety of systems over the entire range of experimentally accessible temperatures (10−9 to 106 K). It provides a truly universal theory of matter in the aggregate. And yet, the entire subject is based on only four laws [183, 220], which may be stated rather simply as follows: Zeroth Law Two bodies, each in equilibrium with a third body, are in equilibrium with each other. First Law Energy is conserved. Second Law Heat flows spontaneously from high temperature to low temperature. Third Law It is not possible to reach the coldest temperature using a finite set of reversible steps. Even though these laws sound rather simple, their implications are vast and give us important tools for studying the behavior and stability of systems in equilibrium and, in some cases, of systems far from equilibrium. The state of thermodynamic equilibrium can be specified completely in terms of a few parameters – called state variables. State variables emerge from the conservation laws governing the underlying dynamics of these systems. State variables may be either extensive or intensive. Extensive variables always change in value when the size (spatial extent and number of degrees of freedom) of the system is changed, and intensive variables do not. Certain pairs of intensive and extensive state variables occur together because they correspond to generalized forces and displacements which appear in expresA Modern Course in Statistical Physics, 4.

Examples of such extensive and intensive pairs include, respectively, volume, V, and pressure, P; magnetization, M, and magnetic field, H; length, L, and tension, J; area, A, and surface tension, σ; electric polarization, P, and electric field, E. The relation of these state variables to underlying conservation laws is direct in some cases. For example, the existence of magnetization is related to the conservation of the internal angular momentum of atoms and electric polarization is related to the conservation of electric charge. The pair of state variables related to heat content of a thermodynamic system are the temperature, T, which is intensive, and the entropy, S, which is extensive. There is also a pair of state variables associated with “chemical” properties of a system. They are the number of particles N (number of moles 𝔫) which is extensive, and the chemical potential per particle (per mole), μ, which is intensive. If there is more than one type of particle in the system, then there will be a particle number or mole number and chemical potential associated with each type of particle. Other state variables used to describe the thermodynamic behavior of a system are the various response functions, such as heat capacity, C; compressibility, κ; magnetic susceptibility, χ; and various thermodynamic potentials, such as the internal energy, U; enthalpy, H; Helmholtz free energy, A; Gibbs free energy, G; and the grand potential, Ω. We shall become acquainted with these state variables in subsequent sections. If we change the thermodynamic state of our system, the amount by which the state variables change must be independent of the path taken. If this were not so, the state variables would contain information about the history of the system. It is precisely this property of state variables which makes them so useful in studying changes in the equilibrium state of various systems. Mathematically, changes in state variables correspond to exact differentials. The mathematics of exact differentials is reviewed in Appendix B. It is useful to distinguish between three types of thermodynamic systems. An isolated system is one which is surrounded by an insulating wall, so that no heat or matter can be exchanged with the surrounding medium. A closed system is one which is surrounded by a conducting wall that allows heat to be exchanged with the surrounding medium, but not matter. An open system is one which allows both heat and matter exchange with the surrounding medium. If the insulating/conducting wall can move, then mechanical work can be exchanged with the surrounding medium. It is possible to change from one equilibrium state to another. Such changes can occur reversibly or irreversibly. A reversible change is one for which the system always remains infinitesimally close to the thermodynamic equilibrium – that is, is performed quasi-statically. Such changes can always be reversed and the system brought back to its original thermodynamic state without causing any changes in the thermodynamic state of the universe. For each step of a reversible process, the state variables have a well-defined meaning. An irreversible or spontaneous change from one equilibrium state to another is one in which the system does not stay infinitesimally close to equilibrium during
