This page was created as a result of a discussion in Talk:Thermodynamic_equations following major edits to that page. It was generally agreed to take the earlier table-of-equations content, starting with the last revision before the major change and move it to a new page named Table of Thermodynamic Equations. --Pmetzger 16:54, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Given that everything on the page is expressed in extensive quantities, why are the lower case 'w' and 'q' used for work and heat, respectively? If there is some rational for this choice, the definition for entropy is inconsistent. Otherwise, capital letters seem more appropriate and should be instituted throughout.
