The effect of finite number of trapped atoms is discussed in Bose-Einstein condensation without interaction, according to Thomas-Fermi approximation. We obtain the state density by high-temperature expansion and calculate the critical temperature in one-dimensional(1D) and two-dimensional(2D) trap potentials. Then the temperature dependence of specific heat are analyzed. The results show that: in 2D case, the specific heat c is proportional to T2; in 1D case,c increases linearly with temperature.
