In the Conservation of Mass for the “elemental control volume”:

m(in) = ρVA

m(out) = (ρ+dρ)*(V+dV)*(A+dA)

But how to get this :

mout - min = dm

and

And I can not understand this :

d/dt (∫ V*ρ*d∀) ≈ (∂ρ / ∂t) * d∀

Thanks

The first approximation is based on the continuity equation, which states that the rate of change of mass within a control volume is equal to the rate of mass flow into and out of the system. Mathematically, this can be represented as:m(in) - m(out) = dm/dtWhere m(in) and m(out) are the masses entering and leaving the control volume, respectively, and dm/dt is the rate of change of mass within the control volume. Expanding each of these terms and rearranging, we get:m(in) = ρVAm(out) = (ρ + dρ ) (V + dV) (A + dA)Substituting these into the equation above and simplifying, we get:dm/dt = (ρ + dρ ) (V + dV) (A + dA) - ρVAThe second approximation is based on the momentum equation, which states that the rate of change of momentum within a control volume is equal to the rate of net force acting on the control volume. Mathematically, this can be written as:d/dt (∫ V*ρ*d∀) ≈ (∂ρ / ∂t) * d∀Where d/dt is the rate of change with respect to time, V*ρ is the momentum, d∀ is the elemental area, and ∂ρ/∂t is the rate of change of density. This equation can be used to approximate the rate of change in momentum within the control volume.
 

1. What is Bernoulli's equation?

Bernoulli's equation is a fundamental principle in fluid dynamics that relates the pressure, velocity, and elevation of a fluid along a streamline. It states that the total energy of a fluid remains constant as it flows through a streamline, neglecting the effects of friction and external forces.

2. What is an elemental fixed streamtube control volume?

An elemental fixed streamtube control volume is a small section of a fluid flow that is analyzed using Bernoulli's equation. It is a theoretical concept that allows for the simplification of complex fluid flow problems into smaller, more manageable parts.

3. How is Bernoulli's equation derived?

Bernoulli's equation is derived from the conservation of energy principle, which states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred. By applying this principle to a fluid flow, we can derive the equation by considering the changes in kinetic, potential, and pressure energy along a streamline.

4. What are the assumptions made in Bernoulli's equation?

Bernoulli's equation makes several assumptions, including: the fluid is incompressible, the flow is steady, the flow is inviscid (no friction), and there are no external forces acting on the fluid. These assumptions allow for the simplification of the equation and make it applicable to a wide range of fluid flow problems.

5. What are the practical applications of Bernoulli's equation?

Bernoulli's equation has many practical applications, including in the design of aircraft wings and propellers, the calculation of water flow in pipes and channels, and the operation of carburetors and other fluid-based systems. It is also used in the study of weather patterns and ocean currents.
