the (*) naturallogarithm of the canonical ensemble partition function, and it is minimized for a system in thermal contactwith a reservoir.
In the grand canonical ensemble model, the grand potential is equal to this quantity minus thechemical potential times the number of particles in a system. Thermodynamic integration is usuallyused to compute the difference in this quantity between two states of interest in a system, and theGibbs-Bogoliubov inequality gives the lower bound of this as the configurational internal energy.This quantity is equal to the negative of Boltzmann's constant times temperature times the (*) naturallogarithm of the canonical ensemble partition function, and it is minimized for a system in thermal contactwith a reservoir. It is the difference between internal energy and the product of temperature and entropy.For 10 points, name this quantity that is the maximum amount of work obtainable from a reversible processat constant temperature and volume.
In the grand canonical ensemble model, the grand potential is equal to this quantity minus thechemical potential times the number of particles in a system.
