The specific heat capacity at fixed pressure and composition is , where is specific enthalpy. Equivalently, it is heat capacity at constant pressure divided by mass. Under the process assumptions in heat capacity, it includes expansion work as well as the internal energy change. The sensible heat example uses this response separately for ice and water.
