The derivation you are looking for is in Transport Phenomena by Bird, Stewart, and Lightfoot. It involves dotting the equation of motion (momentum balance equation) with the velocity vector. Incidentally, this is called the Mechanical Energy Balance Equation. It can be combined with the Overall Energy Balance equation to yield the Thermal Energy Balance equation.
