The thermodynamic limit is reached as the number of particles (atoms or molecules) in a system approaches infinity. The thermodynamic behavior of a system is asymptotically approximated by the results of statistical mechanics as Failed to parse (Conversion error. Server ("https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_") reported: "Cannot get mml. Server problem."): {\displaystyle N\rightarrow \infty } , and calculations using the various ensembles converge.
