The equation of continuity is a fundamental principle in fluid mechanics that expresses the conservation of mass in a fluid flow. It states that for an incompressible fluid, the mass flow rate remains constant along a streamline. Mathematically, it is represented as (A_1 V_1 = A_2 V_2), where (A) is the cross-sectional area of the flow and (V) is the fluid velocity at a given section. For compressible fluids, the equation is
