Show that the partition function appropriate to an isothermal-isobaric ensemble is

$delta(N,p,T)=(summation over E)(summation over V)omega(N,V,E)*exp(-E/kT)*exp(-pV/kT)$

Derive the principal thermodynamic connection formulas for this ensemble.

When i try to derive the partition function I am getting a term that makes no sense. I was wondering if anyone could help me?

thanks
