Consider an infinitesimally small fluid element with density ρ (of dimensions dx, dy and dz) fixed in space and fluid is moving across this element with a velocity \(\vec{V} = u\vec{i} + v\vec{j} + w\vec{k}\). The rate of change in mass of the fluid element is given by ____________ |
A. | \(\frac{\partial(\rho u)}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial(\rho v)}{\partial y} + \frac{\partial(\rho w)}{\partial z}\) |
B. | \(\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t}\) |
C. | \(\frac{\partial\rho}{\partial t}(dx \,dy \,dz) \) |
D. | \([\frac{\partial(\rho u)}{\partial x} + \frac{\partial(\rho v)}{\partial y} + \frac{\partial(\rho w)}{\partial z}]dx \,dy \,dz\) |
