Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

A thermodynamic system can be assigned heat capacities only after its composition, state variables, phase behavior, and constraints such as fixed volume or pressure are specified.

How to interpret this relation type

The target represents a state, property, observable, or state-dependent description associated with the source system or theory.
