abstract = {This article examines the resolution of a problem in thermodynamics and statistical physics, demonstrating the derivation of physical processes under the standard dimension analysis, and presenting results in a standard form. The paper provides a brief elucidation of the Π theorem and furnishes examples of dimensional analysis employing the Π theorem for physical systems. Given the significance of dimensional analysis in physics, it warrants ample emphasis in the instruction of foundational physics courses. Additionally, the appendix of the paper offers standard representations of formulas sourced from the sixth edition of “Thermodynamics and Statistical Physics” written by Wang Zhi-Cheng.}
