September 18, 2001 Reading: Chapter Four Homework: 4.1,4.2,4.3,4.4 Boltzmann Equation: Consider adding a small amount of heat to a system of fixed V and T, So, δw = 0. First law: qwqdU δδδ =−=

So, )(ln Ω= dkdS B )(ln Ω= BkS --- Boltzmann equation. Configurational Entropy: Consider two crystalline materials that are completely miscible in each other in physical contact, such as Au(A) and Ag(B). Suppose there are nA number of A atoms and nB number of B atoms. Initially, two crystals are completely separately. Number of ways of distributing nA atoms on nA
sites is 1!!

Thus, 1=ΩΩ=Ω BAinitial Now, let two crystals completely mixing up, i.e. distributing nA A atoms and nB B atoms on (nA+nB) sites. The number of ways in doing so is

)lnln( BBAARS χχχχ +−= This is known as configurational entropy. It corresponds to maximum entropy of mixing with uniform composition. Since U and V are fixed (no heat, no work), the criterion for equilibrium is to maximize entropy. Example: Prove that the configurational entropy is indeed the maximum in a two-component system if the composition is uniform. Solution: Starting with the uniform composition, suppose we move a few atoms from one side to another to create a compositional inhomogeneity. So, let’s say we shift n0 A atoms from left to right, and n0 B atoms from right to left.
χAnA - n0 A atoms χBnA + n0B atoms
χAnB + n0 A atoms χBnB - n0 B atoms
