peer agreement (net): +1spezifischer Wärmekapazitätskoeffizient Explanation: supported by Routledge Technical Dict. where "thermal capacity" is "Wärmekapazität" and "specific" is rendered as "spezifisch" in many different collocations. I am not sure about "-koeffizient", could also be "-faktor", depending on the specific technical field/industry you are translating for. You should raise your client's awareness of translation problems by asking for more supporting info though, which seems to be the ever-present problem in our business. Just a list doesn't seem to be enough! |
