In summary, the Microcanonical Ensemble is a statistical mechanics model used to describe the behavior of a closed physical system in equilibrium. It assumes that the system is isolated and has a fixed number of particles, energy, and volume. The distribution of energy among the particles is assumed to be uniform, and the system is described by a single energy value. This ensemble is useful for understanding the thermodynamic properties of a system and can be used to calculate the average energy and other thermodynamic quantities.

Suppose that the number of microstates available to a system of N particles depends on N and the combined variable UV^2, where U is the internal energy and V is the volume of the system. The system initially has volume 2m^3 and energy 200 J. It undergoes an isentropic expansion to volume 4m^3. How to calculate the final pressure of the system?

Hi Chander. :welcome:

Please post your homework question in one of our homework help subforums, and you must show a good attempt at solving it, too.
