Understanding of extensive and intensive properties and their significance in fluid mechanics.
The Reynolds transport theorem bridges the gap between system and control volume analysis.
The simplification of fluid mechanics problems can significantly aid in the analysis of real-world systems.
A property that is proportional to the amount of mass in a system; examples include mass, momentum, and energy.
A property that is independent of mass, such as velocity and specific energy.
A fundamental theorem that relates the rate of change of a property in a control volume to the flow of that property across the control surface and the change within the control volume.
A defined space through which fluid may flow, allowing for the analysis of mass, momentum, and energy changes.
