A zipper has two links one ( open) has energy 0 and one (closed) has energy $\Delta$. Label the links as 1,2,...,s,.... The s th link can open only if all the links 1,2,,,,,,,(s-1).. are open. Assuming the system is in thermal equilibrium at temperature T, find the canonical partition function. Find the average number of open links for $T\,\rightarrow\,\infty$
