Finite Control Volume -
Conservation of Mass (continued)
Differing forms for Conservation
of Mass There
are differing versions of this integral form for conservation of mass
depending on the conditions of the flow and of the fluid. If
the flow is steady (no change with
time), then ∂/∂t ∫ ρ dV is zero.
cv Steady
flow exists when the flow is established and doesn’t change with time. Conservation
of mass for steady flow then gives the following relation (in integral form) ∫ ρ V . n dS =
0 or ∫ ρ V . n dS +
∫ ρ V . n dS =
0 cs cs in

V . n dS =
ρ ∫ V . n dS cs
in cs out Note: This integral form
holds for a “nonuniform” velocity profile.
