The hamiltonian consist of translational part and rotatinal part. The translational part by convention has
3N degree of freedom. The rotational part has only 2N due to equal weights for equal solid angle. The
partition function of the system is

Question 4
At a triple point, the chemical potential of three phases are the same
µg (Pσ (T ), T ) = µl (Pσ (T ), T )
∂µg ∂µg dPσ ∂µl ∂µl dPσ

dT dT

=
vl − vg dT
dPσ ∆slg
=
dT ∆vlg
It can be clearly seen that ∆slg + ∆ssl + ∆sgs = 0 and ∆vlg + ∆vsl + ∆vgs = 0.Thus, this guarantee each
coexistence line between two phases at triple point points into third phase.
The third vector must be the negative of sum of the other two in stated case ,guaranteeing the third phase
must not be the same as the previous two. In other words, the two phase points must point to a third phase.
