The document discusses balance laws in physics, specifically conservation of mass, momentum, and energy. It provides details on:
1) The principle of mass conservation states that the mass of an isolated system remains constant over time.
2) The Leibniz-Reynolds transport theorem relates the rate of change of an extensive property within a system to the time rate of change and flux across the system boundary.
3) Applying this theorem to mass conservation results in an expression showing the time rate of change of density plus the divergence of mass flow equals zero. This establishes that mass is conserved within a system.
