D-wave paired isotropic Fermi system in the limiting cases T → T_{c} and T → 0 is considered. Values of the energy gap, the thermodynamic potential, and the specific heat as a function of temperature are given for admissible solutions and compared with values for S-wave paired system. It is shown that the linear term of low temperature specific heat vanishes likewise in case of S-wave pairing. The obtained results make prospects to define the geometry of the energy gap in virtue of the behavior of the specific heat in the limiting temperature cases for heavy-fermion superconductors.
