Deriving Continuity Equation using SymPy

Abstract

Continuity equation which is the mass conservation equation is the first equation to look for any thermal and fluid science problem. In this short communication SymPy has been used to derive continuity equation in the differential form. The approach will reduce the hand calculation time and help the users in focusing the concepts more rather than tedious calculations. The concept presented here can also be used in deriving other equations and proofs.
