Explain how a deformation thermometer measures temperature?

IT measures it by the alcohol or mercury being touch by heat so the fluid rises.There is a chemical in the thermometer (the red liquid ) and it reacts to heat or coldness. cold makes it retract and the heat makes it expand * * * * * That is NOT a deformation thermometer but an expansion thermometer. A deformation thermometer has a bimetallic strip. This is a strip made by joining together two strips of metal with very different coefficients of thermal expansion. When heated, one of the metals expands much more than the other. But, because they are bonded together it is not permitted to expand freely and as a result the bimetallic strip is deformed. The amount of deformation is converted to a temperature scale for display.


What is a probe thermometer?

this is a thermometer that can work twice as much as a normal thermometer or a thermometer that can check the temperature of two things at the same time


How does a LOVE thermometer work?

How do you tell how hot or cold something is?

use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.

What is bulk deformation?

Bulk deformation is the processing of work pieces that have relatively small surface area to volume ratio (or surface area to thickness). In bulk deformation processing ,the thickness or cross section of work piece changes.

What is elastic deformation?

Elastic deformation is recoverable deformation. As such, when the load that caused the deformation is removed the material will return to it's original shape.
