Temperature – Basic or Derived ?

Density -> mass and volume

Pressure -> momentum (mass x velocity) Temperature -> kinetic energy (mass x velocity )

Conservation Laws Observations of the Relations between Derived Quantities

For any fluid system:

1) Mass is neither created nor destroyed. Conservation of Mass - Continuity

2) Momentum is neither created nor destroyed. Conservation of Momentum (3 directions) 3) Energy is neither created nor destroyed. Conservation of Energy
