AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the equation of state for quark-gluon plasma, specifically the pressure and internal energy formulas derived from the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. Participants seek to derive an expression for entropy from these equations, with one suggesting the first principle of thermodynamics as a starting point. There is curiosity about the origins of the equations presented and how properties of plasma can be measured to formulate such equations. The mention of the SAHA equation indicates a consideration of alternative approaches to understanding plasma behavior. Overall, the conversation highlights the complexities of deriving thermodynamic properties in quark-gluon plasma.

Equation of state for quark-gluon plasma is

p=(127/6) (stephan-boltzmann const/ speed of light) T^4

internal energy is

U=3pV = (127/2)(stephan-boltzmann const/ speed of light)(T^4)V

So how does one get an expression for entropy? or if anyone knows the expression what is it? (I may be able to work backwards)

Cheers

Hey! Welcome to PF.

Where did you found these expressions?. I didn't know it exists a equation of state for a plasma!. The question is: how can one measure the propierties in a plasma for built up any equations?. I don't understand some people...


Well, to answer your question:

1st principle: dU=TdS-PdV


what happens if you make S=\int{\frac{dU}{T}+\frac{PdV}{T}}?
 
Spannie, could please give some info on how you acquired these formula's you are using in order to describe this quark-gluon plasma.

Shouldn't you be using the SAHA-equation ? Just a thought...

I was watching a Khan Academy video on entropy called: Reconciling thermodynamic and state definitions of entropy. So in the video it says: Let's say I have a container. And in that container, I have gas particles and they're bouncing around like gas particles tend to do, creating some pressure on the container of a certain volume. And let's say I have n particles. Now, each of these particles could be in x different states. Now, if each of them can be in x different states, how many total...
Thread 'Why work is PdV and not (P+dP)dV in an isothermal process?'
Let's say we have a cylinder of volume V1 with a frictionless movable piston and some gas trapped inside with pressure P1 and temperature T1. On top of the piston lay some small pebbles that add weight and essentially create the pressure P1. Also the system is inside a reservoir of water that keeps its temperature constant at T1. The system is in equilibrium at V1, P1, T1. Now let's say i put another very small pebble on top of the piston (0,00001kg) and after some seconds the system...
