Models an open system that can exchange both energy and particles with a reservoir. The chemical potential ( are kept constant. 3. Entropy and Probability: The Boltzmann Relation

At the heart of the subject is the concept of ensembles—large collections of mental copies of a system, each representing a possible state the system could be in. Sanon explores the three primary ensembles: the microcanonical, which describes isolated systems with constant energy; the canonical, which deals with systems in thermal equilibrium with a heat reservoir; and the grand canonical, which accounts for systems that can exchange both energy and particles with their surroundings. By calculating the partition function for these ensembles, Sanon demonstrates how one can derive nearly all thermodynamic variables, effectively turning a counting exercise of microstates into a predictable physical law.
