c(p) \equiv 0 \Leftrightarrow \frac{d \rho}{ dp} = 0 |
This also implies that material balance equation:

The incompressible matter does not exist but in many practical applications the pressure and temperature variations stay within the sufficiently narrow range where a given matter can be considered as incompressible.
