The notation I learned in thermodynamics was pretty straightforward and simple. We used <math>C_v</math> as the constant volume heat capacity, and <math>C_p</math> as the constant pressure heat capacity. These are the extrinsic heat capacities. We used <math>C_{m, v}</math> as the molar constant volume heat capacity, and <math>C_{m, p}</math> as the molar constant pressure heat capacity. In my opnion that's a great way to do it, systematic and unambiguous. IMO, Thermal capacitance sounds like an outdated term. |

Hi Gene. Why do you delete my addition on dimensionless heat capacity? [[User:Bo Jacoby|Bo Jacoby]] 08:33, 17 October 2005 (UTC) |

If C = Cth and s = Cp, then surely 'Specific heat capacity' and 'Thermal capacitance' are one and the same? If so, then this article needs further restructuring. Ian Cairns 20:23, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
