Abstract

The extensive quantities of a global system may change due to a flux over the boundary or due to production and supply within the volume, resulting in balance equations for the conserved quantities of mass, momentum, angular momentum, and energy. We start with the global balance equations and derive the local form in regular points of the continuum (where the field quantities are continuously differentiable) as well as at surfaces of discontinuity. In addition to one-component systems, we consider mixtures of different chemical components.
