Talk:1-dimensional hard rods

the derivation of the isobaric ensemble is mathematically WRONG!!! 134.93.131.17 15:00, 6 November 2009

Could you provide details? -- Carl McBride (talk) 15:11, 6 November 2009 (CET)

The book by Ziman is quite readable, but please consider the following references:

• A. Drory "Exact solution of a one-dimensional continuum percolation model", arXiv:cond-mat/9610062 8 Oct (1996)
• E. Kierlik and M. L. Rosinberg "The classical fluid of associating hard rods in an external field", Journal of Statistical Physics 68 pp. 1037-1063 (1992)
• J. K. Percus "One-dimensional classical fluid with nearest-neighbor interaction in arbitrary external field", Journal of Statistical Physics 28 pp. 67-81 (1982)

And, please don't shout. --Dduque 13:04, 10 November 2009 (CET)

Entropy of 1-dimensional hard rods

Hi, Very nice wiki. I have a question: What is the entropy of 1-dimensional hard rods gas?

Thanks

It may be worthwhile taking a look at the article Paolo V. Giaquinta "Entropy and Ordering of Hard Rods in One Dimension", Entropy 10 pp. 248-260 (2008). Entropy is an Open Access journal, so you should be able to download the article free of charge. I hope this helps. All the best -- Carl McBride (talk) 16:01, 14 December 2009 (CET)
