This section is meant for graduate students and advanced undergraduates, and continues the discussions in Appendix 2-4.pdf and Appendix 3.6 by deriving the macroscopic entropy balances used in thermodynamics by starting from the microscopic description. This Adobe pdf file contains an optional section of the book that is not included in the printed version. This section is meant for graduate students and advanced undergraduates, and continues the discussion started in Appendix 2-4.pdf with derivations of the macroscopic energy balances used in thermodynamics by starting from the microscopic (i.e., fluid mechanics) description. This and the following sections are also meant to show the connections between the microscopic and macroscopic descriptions, and connect thermodynamics to, for example, fluid mechanics. This section is one of three (the other two follow) that leads to a complete derivation of the entropy balance to prove, from a microscopic level, that the entropy generation term must be positive. This section is meant for graduate students and advanced undergraduates, and derives the macroscopic mass balance of thermodynamics used in this book by starting from a microscopic fluid element, much like what is done in course in fluid mechanics.
