Entropy And Energy Representation

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on converting the entropy of a system, represented as S(U,V,N), into its internal energy U(S,V,N). An example provided is for an ideal classical gas, where the entropy equation includes terms involving the Boltzmann constant, particle number, and volume. The conversion to internal energy is achieved through algebraic manipulation, specifically isolating ln(U/N) and applying the exponential function. The final expression for internal energy is U=N*(U/N)^(2/3)*exp[(2/3)*(S/(N*R)-c)]. The discussion emphasizes that this process is primarily algebraic in nature.

How do I go from the entropy of a system, S(U,V,N), to its internal energy, U(S,V,N)?
For instance, for an ideal classical gas, we have

S=(3/2)N*R*ln(U/N) + N*R(V/N) + N*R*c

where R is the Boltzmann constant, N is the particle number, V is the volume and "c" is a constant.

How can I convert this to U(S,V,N) ?

The unswer is U=N*(U/N)^(2/3)*exp[(2/3)*(S/(N*R)-c)]

Regards,
hurz.

This is just algebra. Isolate ln(U/N), use e^() on both sides and multiply with N.
 
my bad. thanks!
