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:
- Σ ρiAiVi = 0
