$$\displaystyle{F}={\left\langle{x}{\sin{{y}}},-{\cos{{y}}},{z}{\sin{{y}}}\right\rangle}$$ , S is the boundary of the region bounded by the planes x = 1, y = 0, $$\displaystyle{y}=\frac{\pi}{{2}},{z}={0}$$, and z = x.

Step 1
Given:
$$\displaystyle{F}={\left\langle{x}{\sin{{y}}},-{\cos{{y}}},{z}{z}{\sin{{y}}}\right\rangle}$$, the surface S is the boundary of the region bounded by the planes x = 1, $$\displaystyle{y}=\frac{\pi}{{2}},{z}={0}$$, and z = x.
Step 2
Using Divergence theorem
$$\displaystyle\int\int_{{D}}\int\nabla\cdot{F}{d}{v}=\int\int_{{S}}{F}\cdot{n}{d}{s}$$
Compute The divergence of the field
$$\displaystyle\nabla\cdot{F}=\frac{\partial}{{\partial{x}}}{\left({x}{\sin{{y}}}\right)}+\frac{\partial}{{\partial{y}}}{\left(-{\cos{{y}}}\right)}+\frac{\partial}{{\partial{z}}}{\left({z}{\sin{{y}}}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle={\sin{{y}}}\frac{\partial}{{\partial{x}}}{\left({x}\right)}+\frac{\partial}{{\partial{y}}}{\left(-{\cos{{y}}}\right)}+{\sin{{y}}}\frac{\partial}{{\partial{z}}}{\left({z}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle={\sin{{y}}}+{\sin{{y}}}+{\sin{{y}}}$$
$$\displaystyle={3}{\sin{{y}}}$$
Step 3
Therefore, the outward flux is
$$\displaystyle\int\int_{{D}}\int\nabla\cdot{F}{d}{v}={\int_{{0}}^{{\frac{\pi}{{2}}}}}{\int_{{0}}^{{1}}}{\int_{{0}}^{{x}}}{3}{\sin{{y}}}{\left.{d}{z}\right.}{\left.{d}{x}\right.}{\left.{d}{y}\right.}$$
$$\displaystyle={3}{\int_{{0}}^{{\frac{\pi}{{2}}}}}{\int_{{0}}^{{1}}}{\sin{{y}}}{{\left[{z}\right]}_{{0}}^{{x}}}{\left.{d}{x}\right.}{\left.{d}{y}\right.}$$
$$\displaystyle={3}{\int_{{0}}^{{\frac{\pi}{{2}}}}}{\int_{{0}}^{{1}}}{x}{\sin{{y}}}{\left.{d}{x}\right.}{\left.{d}{y}\right.}$$
$$\displaystyle={3}{\int_{{0}}^{{\frac{\pi}{{2}}}}}{{\left[\frac{{x}^{{2}}}{{2}}\right]}_{{0}}^{{1}}}{\sin{{y}}}{\left.{d}{y}\right.}$$
$$\displaystyle=\frac{{3}}{{2}}{\int_{{0}}^{{\frac{\pi}{{2}}}}}{\left[{\sin{{y}}}{\left.{d}{y}\right.}\right.}$$
$$\displaystyle=\frac{{3}}{{2}}{\int_{{0}}^{{\frac{\pi}{{2}}}}}{\left[{\sin{{y}}}{\left.{d}{y}\right.}\right.}$$
$$\displaystyle=\frac{{3}}{{2}}{{\left[-{\cos{{y}}}\right]}_{{0}}^{{\frac{\pi}{{2}}}}}$$
$$\displaystyle=\frac{{3}}{{2}}{\left(-{\cos{{\left(\frac{\pi}{{2}}\right)}}}-{\left(-{\cos{{\left({0}\right)}}}\right)}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle=\frac{{3}}{{2}}{\left({0}-{\left(-{1}\right)}\right)}$$
$$\displaystyle=\frac{{3}}{{2}}$$
Step 4
Thus, the outward flux of the given field is $$\displaystyle\frac{{3}}{{2}}$$.
