Abstract:
The thermodynamic properties and equations of state of matter have been obtained from the Fermi-Thomas statistical model of the atom generalized to include temperature effects by Feynman, Metropolis, and Teller. For the computation of such quantities of the total energy of the system and equations of state which do not depend too strongly on the discrete properties of the energy levels of the atom, this method seems to be ideally suited. However, for the computation of the Rosseland mean opacity (or mean absorption coefficient) which determines the heat transfer at high temperatures, it is necessary to have detailed information about the occupation of the deep-lying levels i.e., the K, L, M, and N shells. Thus for the opacity the method of computation is modified to yield this information.
