Study Notes
Continuity Equation: Conservation of Mass
-
The principle of mass conservation means that mass can neither be created nor destroyed.
-
The Continuity Equation is a mathematical expression of that principal.
-
The rate at which mass enters the region =the rate at which mass leaves the region +the rate of accumulation of mass in the region.
-
If the flow is steady (i.e., unchanging with time) the rate at which mass is accumulated within the region is zero.
-
The rate at which mass enters the region = The rate at which mass leaves the Region.
-
For a control volume with N inlets and outlets:
∑ρiAiVi = 0
