In the initial setup for Reynold's Transport Theorem described in Section 2.4, what is the key assumption about the flow through the stream tube?
Explanation
The one-dimensional stream tube model simplifies the analysis by assuming that fluid only crosses the control volume boundaries at the specified inlet and outlet, with no flow through the side walls of the tube.
