The Reynolds Transport Theorem
Inside this lesson
- Distinguish a system from a control volume and explain why engineers use the latter
- State the Reynolds Transport Theorem and identify its accumulation and flux terms
- Choose the intensive property b that produces mass, momentum, or energy conservation
- Apply RTT with b = 1 to derive the statement of mass conservation used in the next module
