From the first law of thermodynamics we have

the heat capacity is given by

At constant volume

where U is the internal energy, T is the temperature, and V is the volume.

At constant pressure

Server problem."): {\displaystyle C_{p}=\left.{\frac {\delta Q}{\partial T}}\right\vert _{p}=\left.{\frac {\partial U}{\partial T}}\right\vert _{p}+p\left.{\frac {\partial V}{\partial T}}\right\vert _{p}}

where p is the pressure.
