No worries I found the solution. Silly me.

Homework Statement Think of a fluid between two plates at a distance d from each other in the z-direction; then slide the top plate at a constant speed v_0 in the x-direction while holding the bottom plate still. The fluid pushes back, so you need to apply a force F in order to keep the plate...

Thank you, that was very helpful.

Hi, I am trying to get an idea of what a quantum simulator is. I know that it has to do with quantum computers and information theory, and it basically represents a model, but has anybody have something like a textbook definition or the title of a book where i can look it up? Any help?

Watch out. when you derive in mu you don't get any minus sign. the exponent is negative but it is at the denominator, so its actually positive. and i think this is also why you get a minus sign in part c.

ok, i know where the minus sign comes in question (d). The thing is that taking the derivative in mu gives the same result as taking the derivative in epsilon except for a minus sign that comes from the exponent. so you can just substitute (d/dmu) with (-d/deps) inside the integral.

Homework Statement Variables: N (number of particles), μ (chemical potential), P (pression), V (volume). k is Boltzmann's constant. I often use β=1/kT. The (isothermal) compressibility is given by \kappa_{T} = -\frac{1}{V}\left (\frac{\partial V}{\partial P}\right )_{N,T} The...
