1. According to the kinetic theory of gases the temperature-variation of gaseous viscosity is given by:
𝜇 = 𝑎𝑇 𝑛
Where 𝜇 and 𝑇 are viscosity and absolute temperature, respectively. Also, 𝑎 snd 𝑛 are constants. Base on
the Boltzmann equation and Chapman–Enskog theory, 𝑛 = 0.5 for an ideal gas.
Using linear regression, find the values of 𝑎 and 𝑛 from the following experimental data and evaluate this
theory. [10 marks]

The T is on the x-axis and 𝜇 on the y-axis.
We get the following values for a and n
𝑎 = 0.0013
𝑛 = 0.456
We got an n pretty close to 0.5, this could be the data for an ideal as.

2. The following limits deal with the behavior of a function at infinity. Evaluate the following limits,
providing with the necessary elaboration on your answers. Support your answers using graphs. (You
may use software.) [3×2 marks]
