Thermodynamic Temperature Quantity and Units

ThermodynamicTemperature is a variant of the ThermodynamicTemperature SI base quantity. Variants of the temperature quantities must be convertible into each other. Definitions are provided in namespace thermodynamicTemperature. The base quantity defines derived quantity type KelvinClass and Variables ThermodynamicTemperature and Constant .

The Dimension of ThermodynamicTemperature is .

ThermodynamicTemperature defines the following Unit:

• Kelvin; SI base unit.

The default unit is Kelvin (K). The default name in the base quantity is `temperature', and the default symbol is `T'. The derived quantity does not overwrite these values.

... describe differences Thermodynamic etc. temperatures; ...

... describe conversions between temperatures as an exception ... (see also assignment implementation!!)

Conversion from values expressed in Kelvin into those measured by the DegreeRankin unit, may be incorrect if a storage type is used which looses information when generated from a double (e.g., int), since the standardization ratio (5./9.) expressed as an int is zero.
