Construct a small parallelopiped taking the point P as centre with edges of length h,k and l parallel to the coordinate axes which is occupied by fluid.
the mass of fluid that flows across the unit area parallel to yz plane through P in time δt =ρuδt
=f(x,y,z)δt….say
we know that ,mass=volume×density
and here
volume=Area×distance
velocity=
∴volume=1×uδt=uδt ,
so mass=uδt×ρ=ρuδt
since ρ and u depend upon the variable
of x,y and z so they both can be considered as f(x,y,z)

let
P1 and P2 be the projection of P at the faces kl
near to and away from the origin respectively where the coordinate of
it' s because P is the centre of the parallelopiped and the length
along x axis is h and following figure
|
the x
coordinate of P1=ON-MN
the x coordinate of P2=ON+NA
To find the flow across the face kl of the parallelopiped
nearest to origin ,take a point
then the mass of fluid that flows across the area dη.dξ in time δt
[∵using
Taylor^' s expansion for several variables neglecting higher order]
The mass of the fluid that flows across the faces kl away
from the origin in x↑direction in time
δt,
therefore
the increase in mass inside the parallelopiped in time δt due to the flow
across these two faces in x↑direction is
similarly the excess of mass of fluid that
flow in across the hl faces near to the origin over the mass that flows out
across the hl faces away from the origin in y↑direction in time δt
and the excess of mass of fluid that flow in across the kh faces near to
origin over the mass flows out across the kh faces away from the origin in
z↑direction in time δt,
hence the total mass of fliud that flows in the parallelopiped over the
mass that flows out of it in time δt,
on the
other hand ,the initial mass of the fluid inside the parallelopiped=ρhkl
and
the increase in mass of fluid inside the parallelopiped in time δt
now by principal of continuity,(1)and (2)are equal. i.e
