Question:

On the temperature (energy) reports, what is the difference between total and internal energy?

Is the internal energy just respective to the enthalpy/temperature of the fluid, and does the total include kinetic energy?

Thanks for the help!

Yes the total quantities contain the kinetic energy.

There's static temperature & total temperature, internal energy & total energy, and enthalpy and total enthalpy.

It's on the bottom of the list of the temperature stats.
