Homework Statement


They gave me a system with u=\frac{3}{2} pv and u^{1/2}=bTv^{1/3}
So i know that p=\frac{2b^{2}T^{2}}{3v^{1/3}}

And it says i have to use the third law of thermodynamics to obtain the integrating factor

Homework Equations


\lim_{T\to0}S=0

\left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial v}\right)_{T}=T\left(\frac{\partial s}{\partial v}\right)_{T}-p

The Attempt at a Solution



So what i did is

\left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial v}\right)_{T}=T\left(\frac{\partial s}{\partial v}\right)_{T}-p\Rightarrow\left(\frac{\partial s}{\partial v}\right)_{T}=\frac{1}{T}\left(\frac{\partial u}{\partial v}\right)_{T}+\frac{p}{T}

So we end with
ds=\frac{4b^{2}T}{3v^{1/3}}dv
so ..
s=2b^{2}Tv^{2/3}+f(T)

I know the solution is just s=2b^{2}Tv^{2/3}

But i don't know how to use the third law ot obtain the integrating factor and obtain the molar entropy without the uknown function of TI also tried using the differential function of S(T,v) like this
ds=\underbrace{\left(\frac{\partial s}{\partial T}\right)_{v}}_{c_{v}/T}dT+\left(\frac{\partial s}{\partial v}\right)_{T}dv

But i don't know if c_{v} its constant, also even if so, it still wrong.

I don't know how to really solve this, please help, and THX ! :D

All right i just solved it, so what i did is:

dS=\frac{dU}{T}+\frac{p}{T}dV

knowing that

\frac{p}{T}=\frac{2}{3}\frac{b^{2}T}{v^{1/3}}

and

du=\frac{2 b^2 T^2}{3 v^{1/3}}dv

so

ds=\frac{2b^{2}T}{3v^{1/3}}dv

to get finally

s=2b^2 T v^{2/3}

Still didn't use the third law to obtain the integrating factor, i am puzzled why i should use it

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...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
