Streamlines passing through a closed curve form a stream tube, in which the flui

d flows. Since
the velocity vectors are tangent to the superficies, the fluid cannot leave the
tube through the
superficies; the same mass is flowing through every cross section.
? m=?v A ; ?v1A1=?v2A2 (1.27)
The productvAis the volume rate of flow. A
stream tube with an infinitesimal cross section is
called stream filament.
