If you have a computer system that can do numerical integrals, it's not particularly difficult to evaluate $\mu$for $T>T_c$.

(a) As usual when solving a problem on a computer, it's best to start by putting everything in terms dimensionless variables. So define $t=T/T_c,c=\mu /k{T}_c,\text{and}x=ϵ/k{T}_c$. Express the integral that defines $\mu$, equation $N={\int }_0^{\infty }g\left(ϵ\right)\frac{1}{e^{(ϵ-\mu )/kT}-1}dϵ$, in terms of these variables, you should obtain the equation

$2.315={\int }_0^{\infty }\frac{\sqrt{x}dx}{e^{(x-c)/t}-1}$

(b) According to given figure , the correct value of $c$when $T=2T_c$, is approximately $-0.8$. Plug in these values and check that the equation above is approximately satisfied.

(c) Now vary $\mu$, holding $T$fixed, to find the precise value of $\mu$for $T=2T_c$. Repeat for values of$T/T_c$ranging from $1.2$up to $3.0$, in increments of $0.2$. Plot a graph of $\mu$as a function of temperature.
