%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% \sect{Classical gas with general dispersion relation} Consider a gas of $N$ non-interacting particles in a $d$ dimensional box. The kinetic energy of a particle is $\epsilon_p = c|p|^s$. \begin{itemize} \item[(a)] Find the partition function of the gas for a given temperature is $T$. \item[(b)] Define $\gamma = 1+(s/d)$ and using (a) show that the energy is $E = \frac{N T}{\gamma-1}$. \item[(c)] Show that the entropy is $S = \frac{N}{\gamma -1}\,\text{ln} \,(P V^\gamma)+ f(N)$. \item[(d)] Deduce that in an adiabatic process ${PV^{\gamma }=\const}$. \item[(e)] Show that the heat capacity ratio is ${C_P/C_V = \gamma}$. \end{itemize}
