In Section 2.8 we analyzed momentum balances using an overall, macroscopic control volume. From this we obtained the total or overall changes in momentum crossing the control surface. This overall momentum balance did not tell us the details of what happens inside the control volume. In the present section we analyze a small control volume and then shrink this control volume to differential size. In doing this we make a shell momentum balance using the momentum-balance concepts of the preceding section, and then, using the equation for the definition of viscosity, we obtain an expression for the velocity profile inside the enclosure and the pressure drop. The ...
