A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Application of the concept of kinetic theory to: transport phenomenon in fluids - thermal

This topic applies kinetic theory to thermal transport in fluids, especially how microscopic molecular motion produces macroscopic heat flow. For exams, you must master the link between random particle motion, collisions, mean free path, and the coefficient of thermal conductivity, and be able to interpret Fourier-type heat flow in gases and liquids at a basic kinetic level.
