Problem 4.30. The temperature dependence of the mean demon energy: Continuous case
A demon exchanges energy with an ideal classical gas of N particles in three dimensions (see
Problem 4.29). What is the mean energy of the demon?
In this case the demon energy is a continuous variable. Hence, we can analytically determine
the relation between the mean demon energy and the temperature:
Ea e-BEa dEa
Ea
(4.136)
L e-BEa dEa
(a) Explain why the relation (4.136) for the demon energy is reasonable and determine the tem-
perature dependence of Eq.
(b) Would this temperature dependence be different if the gas is in one or two dimensions? Would
the temperature dependence change if the particles in the gas interacted with one another?
