There are many ways to deal with the walls, and even more ways to talk about them. I've seen them described as non-interacting, as interacting with a hard-core, as weakly interacting, as the mechanism for energy transfer between the molecules, and simply ignored by treating a subsystem that doesn't include them (you need stat. mech. for this one). The i.g. model is robust in that way. | |
