AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on proving the ideal gas equation pV = nRT, where T is temperature, p is pressure, n is the number of moles, V is volume, and R is the gas constant. The need to prove the Lagrangian is mentioned, along with references to the Joule and Joule-Thompson experiments, which demonstrate that the internal pressure of an ideal gas is zero. This leads to an alternative definition of an ideal gas and provides a pathway to derive the ideal gas law using Boyle's law. Additionally, a thermodynamic relation is introduced that applies to all substances, not just ideal gases. The conversation suggests that further resources, such as textbooks, may be beneficial for deeper understanding.

As this thread implies i wanted to try to prove ideal gas equation pV=vnRT

where T is tempearture p is pressure n is mole V is volume and R is gas constant

and then I found that I had to prove la grangian

What I wonder about is given in thread here

https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=574248

In the end of the thread it is said that someone her might be able to help me with a suitable textbook. Is that possible?

Hello Georg,

As with strangerep in the other thread you started I am not sure what you are attempting, but you should look up the Joule experiment and the Joule-Thompson experiment.

They proved experimentally that the so called internal pressure of an ideal gas is zero.

This provides an alternative definition of an ideal gas as a gas with

{\left( {\frac{{\partial U}}{{\partial V}}} \right)_T} = 0

You can use this plus Boyle's law to derive PV=NRT.

The following thermodynamic relation is also useful. this relates to all substances, not only ideal gasses.

{\left( {\frac{{\partial U}}{{\partial V}}} \right)_T} + P = T{\left( {\frac{{\partial P}}{{\partial T}}} \right)_V}

By the way did you see my answer in your other thread about reversibility?
 
Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
