Physics 112, B.C. Regan, Problem Set #8. KK refers to Kittel and Kroemer’s Thermal Physics, YF refers to Young and Freedman’s University Physics, 15th edition.

1. KK 6.10 Isentropic relations of ideal gas (Hints:Usingtheidealgaslaw,write���������,������.Calculate������ ���������,whichisindependentof������������. Relate ������ to ������ and ������, and then eliminate them.)

2. KK 6.12 Ideal gas in two dimensions

3. KK 6.14 Ideal gas calculations (basically done in class)

4. KK 6.15 Diesel engine compression

5. KK 7.3 Pressure and entropy of degenerate Fermi gas

6. KK 7.6 Mass‐radius relationship for white dwarfs

7. KK 7.8 Energy, heat capacity, and entropy of degenerate boson gas

KK 7.1‐4, 7.9, and 7.11‐12 are worth a look.
