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:

    “The ideal American type is perfectly expressed by the Protestant, individualist, anti-conformist, and this is the type that is in the process of disappearing. In reality there are few left.”
    —Orson Welles (1915–1984)

    “Papa died in the gas chamber,
    slipping blue as an undressed minnow,
