Let's say I have a 2D harmonic oscillator: Homework Statement The potential is of course defined by: V = 1/2m(Omegax)x^2 + 1/2m(Omegay)y^2 Homework Equations Generally when doing a harmonic oscillator we find that in two dimensions the energy is just: (Nx+Ny+1)hbarOmega is the energy. How...

Does the relation to evaluate the internal energy of this equation of state seem valid? It's been a while since I've taken a thermo course.

Stumbled across an old journal a few weeks ago that suggested the equation of state for a solid could be written: V[P,T] = Vi - (C1)P + (C2)T with an internal energy: U[P,T] = (C3)T - (C2)PT C1, C2, C3 being constants of course. Does this make logical sense? It seems awfully...
