Question

The general mass balance equation is: In - Out + Generation - Consumption = Accumulation If the balanced quantity is total mass, which terms should be set to zero? Out Generation Consumption Accumulation

Answer 1

Generation and consumption.

Step-by-step explanation:

The principle of mass conservation by Antoine Lavoisier states that for any system closed mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical or physical process. In a total mass balance for a system you can't neither generate or consume matter. Thus, these terms must be 0.
