Physics Asked by Rodrigo Monteiro on January 26, 2021
I know that the entropy of isothermal-isobaric ensemble is given by:
$$S = -k sum_{i=1}^M p_i ln p_i quad textrm{where $p_i$ must be normalized} quad sum_{i=1}^M p_i = 1 , .$$
The average energy is
$$sum_{i=1}^M p_i varepsilon_i = langle E rangle$$
and the average volume is
$$sum_{i=1}^M p_i V_i = langle V rangle , .$$
Some authors say that the probability of finding and state $i$ is given by
$$p_i = frac{1}{Q} , exp (-beta varepsilon_i – gamma V_i)$$
where $beta$ and $varepsilon$ are Lagrange multipliers.
I need to physically interpret these two terms. I compared
$$S = k , ln , Y + k beta langle E rangle + k gamma langle V rangle$$
with
$$S = – frac{G}{T} + frac{langle E rangle}{T} + frac{P langle V rangle}{T}$$
Where I can obtain that
$$G = -kT , ln Y, quad gamma = frac{P}{kT} quad textrm{and} quad beta = frac{1}{kT} , .$$
How can I obtain this equation using Lagrange?
$$p_i = frac{1}{Q} , exp (-beta varepsilon_i – gamma V_i)$$
I need some idea to open this equation, given that the physical interpretation of this parameters were done.
I am not sure I clearly get the question. You can derive the expression of $p_i$ by maximizing the entropy $S$ under the constraints of your system (here being fixed average energy and volume) by Lagrange multipliers. Solving the saddle points equations leads to your result. Is that what you need ?
