A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Fluid types and properties

Fluid types and properties are the foundation of automotive hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Mastery of the differences between liquids and gases, their response to pressure, temperature and flow, and the key properties such as density, viscosity, compressibility and specific gravity is essential for designing, troubleshooting and optimizing these systems.
