3. Consider a hypothetical non-ideal gas of particles confined to exist along a line in one dimension. The particles are in thermal equilibrium but due to their complex interactions the velocity...
3. Consider an ideal gas of N particles, each of mass M, confined to a one- dimensional line of length a. Find the entropy at temperature T 3. Consider an ideal gas of N particles, each of mass M, confined to a one- dimensional line of length a. Find the entropy at temperature T
Consider an ideal gas in a box, n equilibrium at temperature T. The particles each have kinetic energy mv2/2 and are spinless point particles. They are at suficiently low density that their quantum statistics are unimportant. The box is made of a thin but impermeable material, and is surrounded by vacuum. (a) Find the normalized velocity distribution for the particles inside the sealed box, Now, suppose that a small hole of area a is made in the box, but where...
Problem 3: (40 points) One-dimensional relativistic gas: Here we consider a non-interacting gas of N relativistic particles in one dimension. The gas is confined in a container of length L, i.e., the coordinate of each particle is limited to 0 <q < L. The energy of the ith particle is given by ε = c (a) Calculate the single particle partition function Z(T,L) for given energy E and particle number N. [12 points] (b) Calculate the average energy E and...
