Conservation of Mass in Fluid Mechanics: The Continuity Equation

MEC516/BME516 Fluid Mechanics, Chapter 3 Control Volume Analysis, Part 4: This video covers the derivation of the conservation of mass equation for a control volume using Reynolds Transport Theorem. This equation is called the "continuity equation". A numerical example is presented for incompressible flow.
