This lecture covers the concepts of control volume and Reynolds Transport Theorem (RTT) in fluid mechanics. It explains the Eulerian and Lagrangian descriptions of flowing fluids, flow field characterization, examples of flow fields, and the application of RTT to conservation of mass. The derivation of RTT, continuity equation, and examples of compressible fluid flow are discussed in detail.
