Answer:

control volume

  • control volume is used to determine the flow characteristics of complex shape like turbine and compressors

differential approach

  • it is carried out by considering infintely small region for fluid analysis.

Step-by-step explanation:

control volume:

  • control volume is used to determine the flow characteristics of complex shape like turbine and compressors
  • it is used to determine the flow velocity within in the boundaries of control volume.
  • it can also used for force analysis for flow.
  • one main disadvantage of control volume is that it doesn't provide detail information about stress and pressure variation.

differential approach:

  • it is carried out by considering infintely small region for fluid analysis.
  • solution of the fluid analysis is in the form of differential equation
  • it provide detail information about the flow.
