$$\lim_{{T}\to{\infty}}N \bar{h}\omega \left( \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{e^{\frac{ \bar{h}\omega}{k_BT}}-1} \right)$$
In term $$\lim_{{T}\to{\infty}}N \bar{h}\omega \left( \frac{1}{e^{\frac{ \bar{h}\omega}{k_BT}}-1} \right)=N \bar{h}\omega \lim_{{T}\to{\infty}}\left( \frac{1}{e^{\frac{ \bar{h}\omega}{k_BT}}-1} \right)$$
but $$\left( \frac{1}{e^{\frac{ \bar{h}\omega}{k_BT}}-1} \right)$$ in the form $$\frac{1}{0}$$
please give me a idea

Hi Another,

The expression for $E$ still has a $T$ in it when $T\to\infty$.
It means that we are looking for an oblique asymptote instead of a horizontal asymptote.
That is, if $T\to\infty$ we should find that $\pd E T\to Nk_B$, so that that we get the oblique asymptote $E\to Nk_BT$.

I do not understand, please give an example to explain it?

why $\pd E T\to Nk_B$, ?

Consider the function given by $f(x)=\frac 1x + x + 1$.
It has:
$$\lim_{x\to\infty} f(x) = \infty $$

[DESMOS]advanced: {"version":7,"graph":{"squareAxes":false,"viewport":{"xmin":-10,"ymin":-10,"xmax":10,"ymax":10}},"expressions":{"list":[{"type":"expression","id":"graph1","color":"#2d70b3","latex":"y=\\frac{1}{x}+x+1"},{"type":"expression","id":"2","color":"#388c46","latex":"y=x+1"}]}}[/DESMOS]
It also has the oblique asymptote $y=x+1$.
We can find its slope through the limit of $f'(x)$ when $x\to\infty$.
We have:
$$\lim_{x\to\infty} f'(x) =\lim_{x\to\infty} \left(-\frac{1}{x^2} + 1\right) = 1$$
Therefore the oblique asymptote exists and has slope $1$.
Put otherwise, when $x\to\infty$ we have that $f(x)\to x$.
Note that we didn't find the $y$-intercept yet, which we didn't need.
 
For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-slog2)+e^(-slog3)+e^(-slog4)+... , Re(s)>1 Riemann extended the Zeta function to the region where s≠1 using analytical extension. New Zeta function is in the form of contour integration, which appears simple but is actually more inconvenient to analyze than the original Zeta function. The original Zeta function already contains all the information about the distribution of prime numbers. So we only handle with original Zeta...
