Conservation of Angular Momentum

Angular momentum (moment of momentum) relates forces to changes in rotational velocity. Reynolds Transport Theorem is used to generate integral expressions of angular momentum balances in a control volume.

The ideas are fundamental in pumps, compressors, turbines, and similar machines.
