ABSTRACT
Applying the thermodynamic zeros of the entropy and internal energy of the gas mass in the volume yields the numerically unique relation between these quantities, thus allowing calculation of the chemical potential in the gas fields of temperature and pressure , viz. . A difference in chemical potential provides a force for freely moving matter flow. Since is intrinsically a negative function, decreasing as the temperature increases, natural flow processes are initiated by high values in cold regions directed to low KEYWORDS Chemical-Potential Temperature Function, Thermo-Mechanical Pressure, Gravitational Pressure, Gulf Stream, Oceanography, Meteorology
