A list of complete reference to sources of questions and problems

Node id: 2888page

This page gives an incomplete, but growing list of sources from which many problems have been compiled. Many questions and problems are obvious variations of the original one, an effort is made to list corresponding sources also. Needless to say that this task will never achieve a complete list, neverthelss it has been taken to give the credit where it is due.

The users are welcome to leave comments with  regard to source on the appropriate problem page.

Node id: 2250page

Once the canonical partition function is known all properties of a system can be derived. Find the equation of state and the heat capacity of systems for which the partition funcion is

(a) \(Z=V^N(2\pi/\beta M)^{5N/2}\);

(b) \(Z= (V-Nb)^N (2\pi/\beta M)^{3N/2} e^{\beta N^2/V} \qquad a,b \text{ are constants}\).
Identify the systems.

Problem-TH-04002

Node id: 2246page

The molar energy of a monoatomic gas which obeys van der Waal's equation is given by
\( E= \frac{3}{2}kT - \frac{a}{v}\),
where \(V\) is the volume at temperature \(T\), and \(a\) is a constant. Initially one mole of gas is at temperature \(T_1\) and occupies volume \(V_1\). The gas is allowed to  expand adiabatically into a vacuum so that it occpies a total volume \(V_2\). What is the final temperature of the gas?

Problem-TH-03001 Work done; van der Waals gas

Node id: 2200page

Consider \(N\) molecules of a gas obeying van der Waals equation of state given by
\[\left(P+ \frac{a N^2}{V^2}\right)\big(V-Nb\big) = Nk_B T\]
where \(a\) is a measure of the attractive forces between the molecules and \(b\) is another constant proportional to the size of a molecule. The other symbols have their usual meanings. Show that during an isothermal expansion (Temperature is kept onstant) from volume \(V_1\) to volume \(V_2\) quasi-statically and reversibly, the work done is
\[ W =-Nk_B T \log\left(\frac{V_2-Nb}{V_1-Nb}\right) + a^2 \Big(\frac{1}{V_1}-\frac{1}{V_2}\Big)\]
