The discussion focuses on the relationship between the Carnot cycle and black body radiation, specifically in the context of plotting the cycle in the P-V plane. It explains that black body radiation can be modeled as a gas of photons with an internal energy U=aVT^4 and pressure P=(1/3)aT^4, where a is the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. Participants seek to understand how to represent this closed curve in the P-V plane for the Carnot cycle using these equations. Additionally, there is a request for resources, including a solutions manual for relevant physics courses. The conversation highlights the intersection of thermodynamics and statistical physics in understanding black body radiation.

what is the graph of carnot cycle in P-V plane using black body radiation? given the internal energy U=aVT^4 where a is the stefan's constant and P=(1/3)aT^4. thank you
What's the carnot cycle have to do with black body radiation...

"An electromagnetic radiation contained in an evacuated vessel of volume V at equilibrium with the walls at temperature T (black body radiation) behaves like a gas of photons having an internal energy U=aVT^4 and pressure P=(1/3)aT^4 where a is the stefan's constant, then plot the closed curved in the P-V plane for a carnot cycle using black body radiation"
this is actually the question

i'm also looking for solution's manual of modern course in statistical physics-reichl and thermal and statistical physics by tobochnik, hope you give some link on that thank you
The video stated that at the surface, water was de-aerated and ice was formed using the triple point of water principle. It even showed a little snow ski slope was made as a demonstration. Unfortunately the physics behind this was not explained. The ice was used to chill the substantial flow of water being recirculated per second into the mine.
