A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Kinetic theory and fluid deformation

Kinetic theory explains fluid properties such as pressure, temperature and viscosity through the motion of molecules, while fluid deformation deals with how a fluid element changes shape under applied stresses. Mastering these concepts is vital for solving problems on flow resistance, shear stress, and the derivation of the Navier–Stokes equations, all of which feature prominently in the NUC CCMAS, NBTE, and NCCE…
