The terms (Generation - Consumption) are usually combined to call Generation with
positive value for net generation and negative value for net consumption.
Let
M = total mass (kg) of A within the system at any time.
m in = rate (kg/s) at which A enters the system by crossing the boundaries.
m out = rate (kg/s) at which A leaves the system by crossing the boundaries.
rgen = rate (kg/s) of generation of A within the system by chemical reactions.
rcons = rate (kg/s) of consumption of A within the system by chemical
reactions.

We now consider the general open system or control volume fixed in space and located in a
fluid flow field, as shown in Figure 5.1-2. The streamline of a fluid stream is the curve where
the velocity at any point is tangent to it. For a differential element of area dA on the control
surface, the rate of mass efflux from this element = (v)( dAcos), where ( dAcos) is the
area dA projected in a direction normal to the velocity vector v, is the angle between the
velocity vector v and the outward-directed unit normal vector n to dA, and is the density.

Figure 5.1-2 Flow through a differential area dA on a control surface.
(v)(dAcos) is the scalar or dot product of (vn)dA. Since the normal vector n is pointing
outward, the mass (efflux) leaving the control volume is positive ( < 90o) and the mass
(influx) entering the control volume is negative ( > 90o). If we now integrate this quantity
over the entire control surface A, we have the net outflow of mass across the control surface
~
or the net mass efflux from the entire control volume V .

Since the rate of mass accumulation in control volume is

= t dV , the mass

Equation (5.1-3) has the same physical meaning as equation (5.1-2) in - m
= m out .
dt
However equation (5.1-3) is more general since it can account for the variation of density
~
over the control volume V and the variation of velocity v over the control surface A.

Water is flowing through a large circular conduit with inside radius R and a velocity
profile given by the equation

pipe.

Solution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Since v is a function of r, we first need to determine the mass flow rate through the
differential area dA = 2rdr
The mass flow rate through the area R2 is then obtained by an integration over the area

Appling the conservation of mass to a 3-D control volume xyz in Cartesian coordinates
we obtain

We then obtain the differential mass balance or the continuity equation. This equation must
be satisfied at all points within any flowing fluid.

ei ej = 0 for i j and ei ei = 1 for i = j where i, j = x, y, or z

The gradient of is a vector in the direction in which increases most rapidly with distance.
The term v is the overall or net rate of mass loss. v is the rate of outflow of volume
(per unit volume). This situation could occur if the fluid were expanding due to a decrease in
pressure. This would result in an outflow of volume across the boundaries of a fixed unit
volume. Therefore v is the rate of mass loss due to expansion. v is the net loss of mass
due to flow if there is an increase in density in the gradient direction. There will be more
mass flow out of the system than the flow in.
