Why should the coefficient of thermal expansion of a refractory metal be the lowest?
Wiki User
∙ 6y ago
refractory metals have high melting points and are used in extremely hot environments; if expansion coefficient is lower this prevents high stresses that can develop due to thermal gradients during the high heat up. It helps to have high thermal conductivity as well

The lowest temperature coefficient metal is?
Molybdenum
What is the number to the left to a chemical formula?
Balancing a chemical equation can often require a whole-number coefficient placed in front of a chemical formula. This upholds the Law of Conservation of Matter, which says that matter cannot be created or destroyed. These coefficients must be in the lowest possible ratio.

Diamond-like Carbon has a coefficient of friction of as low as 0.05 on polished steel.
Can the greatest common factor of a polynomial be smaller than the lowest coefficient?
Yes.
What is water expansion?
temperaturewater's most density: 4 degrees Celsius ( = lowest expansion rate)

What is the polynomial function of lowest degree with lead coefficient 1 and roots 1 and 1 you?

Is density of melting ice less than solid ice?
Ice, like other solids will expand with heat. It has a coefficient of expansion of 50 ppm/°C. So, the colder the ice is, the smaller, and higher density it will be. The warmer, the lower the density, with the maximum temperature (and lowest density) being at the melting/freezing point.
Would a laminar flow element a venturi a flow nozzle or an orifice plate produce the smallest total head loss?
The lowest head loss is from a venturi since it has the lowest coefficient of discharge. typical coefficients range from 0.95-0.99 where the higher coefficient is directly proportional to larger square root of Reynolds number.
