The general conservation law for any conserved quantity Q can be written in the form of Eq. (1-10). We have said that this law can also be applied to ‘‘dollars’’ as the conserved quantity Q. If the ‘‘system’’ is your bank account,
(a) Identify specific ‘‘rate in,’’ ‘‘rate out,’’ and ‘‘rate of accumulation’’ terms in this equation relative to the system (i.e., each term corresponds to the rate at which dollars are moving into or out of your account).
(b) Identify one or more ‘‘driving force’’ effects that are responsible for the magnitude of each of these rate terms, i.e., things that influence how fast the dollars go in or out. Use this to define corresponding ‘‘transport con stants’’ for each ‘‘in’’ and ‘‘out’’ term relative to the appropriate ‘‘driving force’’ for each term.
