â 11y agoThermal expansion occurs when change in temperature causes change in object such as metal, which expands when temperature rises. Different metals have different expansion characteristics. A metal will change precisely with change in temperature. The rest is easy: apply techniques to switch circuits (furnace/AC) on and off with physical shape change of metal, calibrate switching to correspond to required temperature and measured temperature. This type of control is largely antiquated in thermostat control and replaced with PN junction linear change in base speading resistance used to control sophisticated energy saving equipment.
Expansion still used heavily in refrigeration control and heating protection and control.

How does a thermostat use thermal expansion to run the heater?
thermostats contain bimetallic strips, which are strips of two different metals joined together. When the thermostat is on cool, thermal energy is released. when the thermostat is on high, thermal energy moves through the air (everywhere in the atmosphere).
How would you use Thermal expansion and absolute zero in a sentence?
My knowledge about thermal expansion borders on absolute zero.
How would you use Thermal expansion in a sentence?
Example sentence - Our homework assignment is to give an example of thermal expansion and explain why it happens.
Use thermal expansion in a sentence?

How could you use thermal expansion to help get a tight lid off a jam jar?
Heat the metal lid (but try not to heat the glass jar as much) and the thermal expansion will make the lit easier to screw off (I do this often by running the lid under hot tap water).

What is the scientific name for the inrease in the size of a substance when the temperature is increased?
Thermal Expansion. Each liquid or pure solid has a specific thermal of expansion. The thermal expansion of a substance is not linear, though for most of the temperatures we encounter in normal life, it is close enough to linear to be able to use a linear definition called the "Coefficient of Thermal Expansion".

What are jobs that require the use of thermal expansion and contraction?
Cement laying, for one job.
Give one use of thermal expansion in gases?
To lift hot air balloons
What properly is important for glassware that use heated?
Very low CTE - coefficient of thermal expansion.
Why use loop in pipe rack?
For thermal expansion of the pipe, avoiding damage/clash to adjoining pipes.
What is the use of pig tail in steam reformer?
To accommodate thermal expansion between reformer tubes and the outlet manifolding.
How does a thermometer use thermal expansion?
By when u look at an ordinary thermometer and u will see it goes on a regular degree
