What is the calculation for value B in Penrose's entropy model?

[QUOTE="Philip Koeck, post: 6868209, member: 586311"] I don't really know what Penrose is modelling, but I don't think it's a good model of a gas mixture. In the model there is only one available state per particle and each state can only take one particle. That's why there is only one way of putting all the red balls in the lower half and all the blue in the upper half if balls of the same color are indistinguishable from each other. B = 1 for indistinguishable balls. In a gas there are always many more states than atoms (or molecules). That means that, for a mixture of two gases, there are very many ways of putting all atoms of one kind in one half of a container even if atoms of the same kind are indistinguishable from each other.
