The grand canonical ensemble is a statistical ensemble which is specified by the system volume V, temperature T, and chemical potential μ; the chemical potential is the energy which is necessary for adding one particle to the system adiabatically, and the detailed definition will be shown later.
In statistical mechanics, a grand canonical ensemble (also known as the macrocanonical ensemble) is the statistical ensemble that is used to represent the possible states of a mechanical system of particles that are in thermodynamic equilibrium (thermal and chemical) with a reservoir.
