The Reynolds Transport Theorem provides a way to transfer equations for conservation of mass, momentum, and energy from system analysis to the volume analysis.
Let B = extensive property related to fluid flow (mass, momentum, energy etc) &
b = intensive property( linear momentum per unit mass, energy per unit mass etc).
Then Reynolds transport theorem is
dB/dt |sys = ∂/∂t ∫ ρb dV + ∫ ρb V . n dS
cv cs
cv = control volume, cs = control surface
where
ρ = the mass density of the fluid
∂/∂t = the time rate of change
dV = the element of volume within the control volume
V = the fluid velocity crossing the control surface
n = the unit outward normal to the control surface
V . n = the normal component of velocity crossing the control surface (dot product)
dS = the element of area on the control surface
and
∂/∂t ∫ ρb dV = the time rate of change of B within the control
volume
cv
∫ ρb V . n dS = the flux of B across the control surface
