Consider a parallel plate flow problem where the mass fluxes are acting on an infinitesimal control volume along the Cartesian coordinate system. [25 marks in total] Figure 2. Incoming and outgoing (a) mass fluxes and (b) x-directional normal and sheer surface stresses over an infinitely small control volume in a flow over two parallel plate channels. (a) Using the control volume approach as described in Fig. 2a, derive the mass conservation equation. [5 marks] (b) Given that the flow is incompressible with constant fluid properties, what can be concluded based on the mass conservation equation in (a)
