Differential formulation of governing equations
From Thermal-FluidsPedia
The microscopic (differential) formulations to be presented here include conservation equations and jump conditions. The former apply within a particular phase, and the latter are valid at the interface that separates two phases. The phase equations for a particular phase should be the same as those for a single-phase system. Most textbooks (e.g., White, 1991; Incropera and DeWitt, 2001; Bejan, 2004; Kays et al., 2004) obtain the governing equations for a single-phase system by performing mass, momentum, and energy balances for a microscopic control volume. We will obtain the conservation equations by using the integral equations for a finite control volume that includes only one phase. Jump conditions at the interface will be obtained by applying the conservation laws at the interfaces.
