Eleasar Bishop (ca. 1692-1755) emigrated from England to New London, Connecticut, and married Sarah Dart in 1704. His son, John Bishop (1709-1785), married twice and immigrated from Connecticut to Horton, Nova Scotia in 1760/1763.

Statistical Mechanics and Thermodynamics

by Edward Timoshenko

2021 · Edward Timoshenko

After a brief introduction into the probability theory, the main principles of Statistical Mechanics are systematically developed from the first principles for the equilibrium theory. The course proceeds from a mechanistic description of molecular and atomic motion and the concepts of thermodynamical ensembles. For an isolated system the laws of Thermodynamics are derived in the thermodynamic limit. For systems in a heat bath we obtain the Gibbs canonical distribution and explain the concepts of the partition function and the free energy. The ideal gas law is then obtained, and extended to the van der Waals equation of state. The vibrational, rotational and electronic partition functions are obtained for molecular systems. For open thermodynamic systems under a fixed pressure the grand-canonical Gibbs ensemble is introduced with the concepts of the chemical potential and the enthalpy. Finally, the quantum systems with the Bose-Einstein and Fermi statistics are reviewed.
