Physics 152 Set Up Instructions:
Using
StatMech
to Calculate Entropy, Temperature, and Heat Capacity
Lab Directions
Basic Idea:
Use Moore's program
StatMech
to calculate entropy, temperature, and heat capacity for two Einstein solids in contact
Number of setups:
None
Equipment Needed
(each setup)
:
No setup required; computer exercise!
Computers Needed?
Students are asked to bring their own laptops, so a lab computer is only needed if they don't have one of their own.
