Abstract: We analyze a recent calculation of the energy levels of some quantum-mechanical models derived from the so-called generalized Cornell potential. We argue that the authors obtained essentially the same spectrum for potentials with considerably different spectra. We show that the authors obtained negative eigenvalues in the case of a positive-definite potential. The reason is due to the approximation used in the solution of the Schrödinger equation. We point out that the omission of the sum over the rotational degrees of freedom in the canonical partition function leads to incomplete expressions for the thermodynamic functions.
