## Model Assumptions

Our model will assume that the membrane behaves as the boundary of a system of $N$ particles of charge $q$ that are kept under constant temperature $T$. The exact shape of this boundary is assumed to be unimportant, and the particles aren't allowed to cross it.
Our model will assume that the membrane separate a system of $N$ particles of charge $q$ that are kept under constant temperature $T$ in a heat bath. The exact shape of this boundary is assumed to be unimportant. The number of particles is kept constant.

The expected value of the dirac sum is calculated with the probability distribution of the system:

$$n(\vec{x}') = \left\langle\sum_{j=1}^{N}\delta(\vec{x}_j-\vec{x}')\right\rangle = \sum_{\left\{\vec{x},\vec{p}\right\}}\sum_{j=1}^{N}\delta(\vec{x}_j-\vec{x}')P(\vec{x}, \vec{p})$$

The delta function can now be computed by expanding the sum over $\left\\{\vec{x},\vec{p}\right\\}$ as an integral. To be pedantic, this would yield a $\frac{1}{\Delta \vec{x} \Delta \vec{p}}$ factor related to the uncertainty of the measure, which is replaced by Planck's constant as $\frac{1}{h}$; but since this would also show up on the integral of the partition function, they would cancel out. The expression then becomes:

$$ = \int\prod_{j=1}^{N}\mathrm{d}\vec{x}_j\mathrm{d}\vec{p}_j\sum_{k=1}^{N}\delta(\vec{x}_k-\vec{x}')P_j(\vec{x}_j, \vec{p}_j)$$
