here's the problem http://picasaweb.google.com/RBWang1225/Thermodynamics#5412090936157167154

and this's my ideas http://picasaweb.google.com/RBWang1225/Thermodynamics#5412094345461831986

i don't know what's the next step.

Welcome to physics forums. Please note, use the standard font and font size when posting here, unless there is good reason not to.

There is an error in your integral for Q, since
dQ = P dV, not dV/P
on the isothermal paths.

Also, look up the relation between dS and dQ to help with calculating the entropy change.
 
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 ?
