New Quantum Theory and New meaning of Specific Heat of an Ideal Gas

Yoshifumi Ito, Sharif Uddin

Published Dec 20, 2004• 6 citations
OpenAlex

Abstract

In this article, we consider the specific heat of an ideal gas composed of monatomic molecules in the view point of the new quantum theory. Thereby we can clarify a new meaning of specific heat of an ideal gas.

Specific heat of an ideal Bose gas above the Bose condensation temperature

Frank Y.-H. Wang

An approximation for the specific heat of an ideal Bose as an explicit function of temperature above the condensation temperature Tc is derived. The formula yields the exact values of the specific heat and its first derivative at Tc and has an accuracy of at least 0.3% over the full range of temperatures.

Quantum Statistics of Ideal Gases in Two Dimensions

Robert Mccredie May

It is shown that in two dimensions the specific heat ${C}_{V}(T, N)$ for an ideal gas of Fermi particles is identical with that for an ideal Bose gas for all $T$ and $N$. This is true despite the great difference in the distribution functions of the two systems at low temperatures. To shed further light on this identity, the quantum statistics of ideal gases are investigated treating the number of dimensions as a continuous variable: $n=2$ is seen to be a special case. In the extreme relativistic region, the analogous special case is $n=1$.

Comment on "Specific heat of an ideal Bose gas above the Bose condensation temperature," [Am. J. Phys. 72(9), 1193--1194 (2004)]

Fengqiu Wang

We examine the English translation of Albert Einstein's groundbreaking 1925 paper on Bose-Einstein condensation. We guide readers to execute the calculations Einstein outlined for the specific heat above the condensation temperature, correct some numerical errors, and compare his formula with a different one published in the American Journal of Physics in 2004. The history of the acceptance of Einstein's theory will be summarized.

Ideal Relativistic Bose Condensation

P. T. Landsberg, Jeremy Dunning-Davies

The condensation temperature and the specific-heat anomaly of an ideal relativistic Bose gas are discussed. For a high concentration of bosons with small rest mass there is a marked departure from the normal nonrelativistic theory. The heat capacity ${C}_{v}$ remains continuous at the condensation temperature unless the rest mass vanishes.

Specific Heat of the Many-Boson Gas

R. Brout

It is shown that the simple Hartree-Fock approximation to the free energy of a many-boson gas changes the Bose-Einstein condensation from a third- to a second-order transition. A term is added to the energy of the interaction system which is proportional to the specific heat of the ideal gas system. Quantitative estimates of the effect for liquid helium give an order of magnitude about 5 times too high, which shows the importance of the effect and the necessity for screening it out.

It is shown that in two dimensions the specific heat CV(T,N){C}_{V}(T, N)CV​(T,N) for an ideal gas of Fermi particles is identical with that for an ideal Bose gas for all TTT and NNN. This is true despite the great difference in the distribution functions of the two systems at low temperatures. To shed further light on this identity, the quantum statistics of ideal gases are investigated treating the number of dimensions as a continuous variable: n=2n=2n=2 is seen to be a special case. In the extreme relativistic region, the analogous special case is n=1n=1n=1.
