308 There are several different types of ensembles with different
309 statistical characteristics. As a function of macroscopic
310 parameters, such as temperature \textit{etc}, partition function can
311 be used to describe the statistical properties of a system in
312 thermodynamic equilibrium.

314 As an ensemble of systems, each of which is known to be thermally
315 isolated and conserve energy, Microcanonical ensemble(NVE) has a
316 partition function like,
317 \begin{equation}
318 \Omega (N,V,E) = e^{\beta TS} \label{introEquation:NVEPartition}.

320 A canonical ensemble(NVT)is an ensemble of systems, each of which
321 can share its energy with a large heat reservoir. The distribution
322 of the total energy amongst the possible dynamical states is given
323 by the partition function,
324 \begin{equation}
325 \Omega (N,V,T) = e^{ - \beta A}
326 \label{introEquation:NVTPartition}
284   \end{equation}
328 Here, $A$ is the Helmholtz free energy which is defined as $ A = U -
329 TS$. Since most experiment are carried out under constant pressure
330 condition, isothermal-isobaric ensemble(NPT) play a very important
331 role in molecular simulation. The isothermal-isobaric ensemble allow
332 the system to exchange energy with a heat bath of temperature $T$
333 and to change the volume as well. Its partition function is given as
334 \begin{equation}
335 \Delta (N,P,T) =  - e^{\beta G}.
