4. Mass Conservation Equation

4. Mass Conservation Equation

The chapter delves into the applications of momentum conservation principles in fluid mechanics, particularly focusing on scenarios involving control volumes. It elaborates on the significance of mass flow rates, pressure distributions, and the behavior of incompressible and compressible flow regimes. Various examples, including water jets and spacecraft deceleration, illustrate the practical applications of these concepts.
