where the sum is over a partition of S into smaller surface areas Sij , (xij , yij , zij )
is any point in Sij and we take the limit as the partition becomes ner.
Let us now calculate the rate of ow of uid f out per unit area and unit time,
given the velocity vector eld of the uid V and the density . We dene the flow
rate density by
F = V,
If S is a small area of a piece of a plane with outward unit normal n then we
claim that the ow rate out of S per unit time is given by
F n S
In fact, in a small time t, the uid particles that will reach S are at most Vt
away, and all particles within reach form a sloped cylinder with S as its base
and height V n t. Since the volume is the area of the base times the height the
amount of uid in the cylinder is the density times the volume: Vn tS. If we
divide by t we get the rate per unit time and if we divide this by S we get the
ow rate out of per unit surface area and unit time

The ow rate of uid out of the total surface S, or the flux of the velocity vector
eld F out of the surface S, with outward unit normal n, is the surface integral

Let us however rst look at a one dimensional and a two dimensional analogue.
A one dimensional analogue if the First Fundamental Theorem of Calculus:
f (b) f (a) =
f (x) dx.
A two dimensional analogue says that if D is a region in the plane with boundary
curve C and n = (n1 , n2 ) is the outward unit normal to C, then

since the last two integrals vanishes because the region is symmetric under replacing
y by y (respectively z by z) but the integrand changes sign.
Ex. Find ux of F = x i + y j 2z k out of the unit sphere.
Sol. By the divergence theorem the ux is equal to the integral of the divergence
over the unit ball. Since div F = 0 it follows that the volume integral vanishes and
by the divergence theorem the ux therefore vanishes.
Let B be a ball of radius and let S be its surface. Then
F n dS =
div F dV
S
By the mean value theorem for integrals the right hand side is equal to the volume
of the box B times div F at some point in the box so we get the interpretation of
the divergence that we announced in section 3.3:
Flux of F out through S = Vol(B ) div F
where div F is evaluated at some point in B . Hence
Flux of F out through S

Since V is convex we can write V = {(x, y, z); f1 (x, y) z f2 (x, y), (x, y) D}.
Then S consists of two parts S1 = {(x, y, z); z = f1 (x, y), (x, y) D} and
S2 = {(x, y, z); z = f2 (x, y), (x, y) D}. We have
