Abstract
We consider stationary driven systems in contact with a thermal equilibrium bath. There is a constant (Joule) heat dissipated from the steady system to the environment as long as all parameters are unchanged. As a natural generalization from equilibrium thermodynamics, the nonequilibrium heat capacity measures the excess in that dissipated heat when the temperature of the thermal bath is changed. To improve experimental accessibility we show how the heat capacity can also be obtained from the response of the instantaneous heat flux to small periodic temperature variations.
