Is it just me, or does the article in fact define heat capacity, rather than heat capacity rate?
Compare "the ability of a fluid to resist change in temperature as heat transfer occurs" (from the article)
against "a measure of the amount of heat a flowing fluid can release or absorb per unit time, given a unit change in temperature" (http://www.newmars.com/wiki/index.php/Specific_heat_and_heat_capacity)
I'm unqualified to change the page myself, (I'm still learning about the topic), but from what I've gathered elsewhere the article appears to be factually inaccurate. Perhaps somebody with more knowledge on the subject could clear this up? Napalm Llama (talk) 13:43, 26 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The two definitions given are identical in meaning, just that the current entry is not as explicit. I'll change the wording around a bit and change some other minor errors on the page. Pete Rolph (talk) 23:18, 27 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]
