Abstract: The isobaric caloric curve is considered in the subcritical states region. The energy fluctuations along the caloric curve are determined for small nuclear systems that consist of a limited number of nucleons. The temperature dependence of heat capacity at fixed pressure is obtained. The calculated quantities of the small nuclear system are discussed and checked against those for the infinite nuclear matter.

Keywords: caloric curve, energy fluctuation, small nuclear system.
