This quantity approaches infinity while its product with the square of the molecular radius approaches a finite value in the Boltzmann-Grad limit.
This quantity approaches infinity while its product with the square of the molecular radius approaches a finite value in the Boltzmann-Grad limit. In the canonical ensemble, the magnitude of thermodynamic fluctuations of internal energy normalized by the total value of the internal energy are proportional to this quantity raised to the minus one-half power. This quantity can fluctuate in the grand canonical ensemble, but is fixed in the canonical ensemble. The distribution function is typically normalized such that its integral over position and momentumspace equals this quantity. Both this quantity and volume are infinite in the thermodynamic limit. This extensive quantity is the thermodynamic conjugate of the chemical potential, which is the change in free energy when this quantity increases by 1. For 10 points, give this thermodynamic parameter typically represented as N.
