Key Concepts Covered

➡️ Viscosity – A measure of a fluid’s internal resistance to flow, indicating how thick or sticky a fluid is.
➡️ Dynamic viscosity – The measure of a fluid's resistance to shear or flow under force.
➡️ Kinematic viscosity – The ratio of dynamic viscosity to the fluid's density, providing insight into flow behavior.
➡️ Temperature's effect on viscosity – How heat influences the internal resistance of liquids and gases.
➡️ Flow rate – The speed at which a fluid moves through a conduit or space, impacted by viscosity.
