Grand Potential - Ideal Gas

Ideal Gas

For an ideal gas,

\Phi_{G} = - k_{B} T \ln(\Xi) = - k_{B} T Z_{1} e^{\beta \mu}

where Ξ is the grand partition function, kB is Boltzmann constant, Z1 is the partition function for 1 particle and β = 1/kBT is the inverse temperature. The factor eβμ is the Boltzmann factor.

Famous quotes containing the words ideal and/or gas:

    “Whoever has witnessed another’s ideal becomes his inexorable judge and as it were his evil conscience.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “one pale woman all alone,
    The daylight kissing her wan hair,
    Loitered beneath the gas lamps’ flare,
    With lips of flame and heart of stone.”
