Homework Statement


Suppose you are given the following relation among the entropy S, volume V , internal energy U, and number of particles N of a thermodynamic system, where A is a constant.:
$$ S = A(NVU)^{\frac 1 3} $$
Find the chemical potential μ(T,P)

Homework Equations


$$ \frac μ T = -(\frac{∂S}{∂N})_{U,V} $$
U = TS - PV + μN

The Attempt at a Solution


$$ \frac μ T = -(\frac{∂S}{∂N})_{U,V} = \frac 1 3 A N^{-\frac 2 3} (VU)^{\frac 1 3} $$
This only solved μ(U,V,N)
Since internal energy is a function of N,V,T : U(N,V,T)
$$ ∴ μ(U,V,N) → μ(T,\frac V N) → μ(T,P) $$
However, I don't know how to carry out the above transform in this case. I don't know U(N,V,T)

Thanks!

Try to express p and T in terms of U, S and V, using dU=TdS-pdV.
Then set up G(T,p,N)=U-TS+pV.
Calculate mu from G.

Oh! Thanks, I didn't think of that before
 
Hello everyone, I’m considering a point charge q that oscillates harmonically about the origin along the z-axis, e.g. $$z_{q}(t)= A\sin(wt)$$ In a strongly simplified / quasi-instantaneous approximation I ignore retardation and take the electric field at the position ##r=(x,y,z)## simply to be the “Coulomb field at the charge’s instantaneous position”: $$E(r,t)=\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_{0}}\frac{r-r_{q}(t)}{||r-r_{q}(t)||^{3}}$$ with $$r_{q}(t)=(0,0,z_{q}(t))$$ (I’m aware this isn’t...
Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
