Use the fact that at the critical point the first and second partial derivatives of P with respect to Vm at constant T are zero (∂P/∂Vm=∂2P/∂V2m=0) to derive the expressions for the Van der Waals constants in terms of critical parameters. Show full and complete procedure, do not skip any step
Consider a free Fermi gas in two dimensions, confined to a squarearea A = L2.
Because g(€) is a constant for this system, it is possible to carry out the integral 7.53 for the number of particles analytically. Do so, and solve for μ as a function of N. Show that the resulting formula has the expected qualitative behavior.

- A (nonconstant) harmonic function takes its maximum value and its minimum value on the boundary of any region (not at an interior point). Thus, for example, the electrostatic potential V in a region containing no free charge takes on its largest and smallest values on the boundary of the region; similarly, the temperature T of a body containing no sources of heat takes its largest and smallest values on the surface of the body. Prove this fact (for two-dimensional regions) as follows: Suppose that it is claimed that u(x, y) takes its maximum value at some interior point a; this means that, at all points of some small disk about a, the values of u(x, y) are nolarger than at a. Show by Problem 36 that such a claim leads to a contradiction (unless u = const.). Similarly prove that u(x, y) cannot take its minimum value at an interior point.arrow_forwardConsider two isolated systems of noninteracting spins with Na=4 and Nb= 16.
