4.4 Conservation of mass Example 5: We want to determined the rate at which the water level rises in an open container if the water coming in through a 0.10m2 pipe has a velocity of 0.5 m/s and the flow rate going out is 0.2 m3/s. The container has a circular cross section with a diameter of 0.5 m. Solution: (1) Select a control volume that extends above the water surface. 4.4 Conservation of mass 4.4 Conservation of mass Solution: (2) Select the control volume with its top surface below the water level. The velocity at the top surface is equal to the rate at
