Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature.
thermal expantion
This increase of volume is called expansion
- Thermal expansion is the dimension modification of a material under heating. - Linear, volumetric and area thermal expansion are known and measured for materials.
A bridge must have expansion gaps or else they will waver when they expand in warm temperatures. This is thermal expansion
Yes as friend Des Dichado pointed out liquids do have thermal expansion.
Since expansion is the process of a substance's dimensions increasing, e.g., thermal expansion caused by a rise in temperature, the logical opposite would be contraction.
thermal expansion
thermal expansion depends on Temperature and material of steel
Linear, volumetric and area thermal expansion are known and measured for materials.
boyles law describes how when temperature rises the volume rises
My knowledge about thermal expansion borders on absolute zero.
Why aluminium has high thermal expansion coefficient than Copper?"
