Bernoulli's Equation
An equation that relates the pressure, velocity, and elevation of a fluid in steady flow, indicating that the total mechanical energy remains constant along a streamline.
Control Volume
A defined region in space through which fluid flows, allowing the analysis of mass and energy exchanges across its boundaries.
Mass Conservation
A principle stating that the mass of fluid entering a control volume must equal the mass of fluid leaving that control volume in steady flow conditions.
Momentum Flux
The rate of flow of momentum across a given surface, used to calculate forces acting on control volumes primarily under dynamic conditions.
