Hi
I have seen the expression for mass flow rate in one of the problems I am working on. I used to simply apply the expression for calculating the mass flow rate with respect to the position as (ρu + (∂u ∕∂x)dx) dy dz). ρ, u are density and velocity component respectively.
I would like to understand the exact meaning of multiplication of (∂u ∕∂x)dx.
I expect a good explanation as soon as possible.
Thanks in advance.
