This is the equation of continuity for flow in a cylindrical pipe with axial symmetry for an
incompressible fluid. You see that we have only 2 of the four terms in the most general form of
the continuity equation in cylindrical coordinates as given in equation 3.6-27 on page 169,
Geankoplis. We lost one term due to incompressibility and the other due to axial symmetry.
(b) Use the equation of continuity in cylindrical coordinates (3.6-27) to derive the equation.
