The continuity or mass conservation equation of a one-dimensional flow is expressed by the relation :

\frac{\partial (ρ A)}{\partial t} + \frac{\partial (ρ A V)}{\partial s} = 0

^( 1 )

This expression is valid for a stream, but in this theory we'll extend it to a pipe. In other words, we'll assume that the flow inside a...
