Equations

Flow field

Rate of production

Accumulation

Conserved quantity, internal energy

Nonconserved quantity, entropy

A flow field is a vector field

Discussion

Accumulation was demonstrated graphically in Mathematica animation in the previous lecture

Accumulation is the negative of the divergence of  the flux plus the creation or destruction of material

Consider the accumulation of internal energy, a conserved quantity.  It is equal to the negative of the divergence of internal energy.

Entropy change is due to net flux, and there is a production term.
