Substitute the value for the probability PN given by equation (11.8), in 

Substitute the value for the probability PN given by equation (11.8), in the Boltzmann expression for the entropy, namely S=-kP., log PN.1 N to show that for the grand canonical ensemble S=-kPN-(e/kT) + (uN/KT) - log E]. Use equation (11.11) to show that, for fixed T and , -k PN [-(e./kT)] = U/T; -k PNLUN/KT] = -(/T). N Since E is a constant, if T, V and u are constant, we have kP, log E(T, V, ) = k log = PN. = k log E. NI Hence show that S = (U/T) (N/T) + k log E. Consider the relation 201 (11.34) (a(kT log E)/OT),v = k log E+ (kT/E) (OE/OT),v. Substitute for from equation (11.9) into the (0E/OT) term, carry out the partial differentiation, and hence show that S = (a(kT log E)/OT).v. (11.31)
