Entropy And Energy Representation

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on converting the entropy of a system, represented as S(U,V,N), to its internal energy U(S,V,N) specifically for an ideal classical gas. The entropy formula provided is S=(3/2)N*R*ln(U/N) + N*R(V/N) + N*R*c, where R is the Boltzmann constant. The conversion to internal energy is achieved through the equation U=N*(U/N)^(2/3)*exp[(2/3)*(S/(N*R)-c)]. The solution emphasizes the algebraic manipulation required to isolate ln(U/N) and apply the exponential function.

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!
