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?

The metal with the lowest temperature coefficient is Platinum. Its temperature coefficient of resistance is among the lowest of all metals, making it a preferred choice for applications where stability in resistance over a wide temperature range is required.


Do sulfur nitrogen phosphorus and bromine have the same thermal conductivity?

These elements have quite different physical characteristics. At normal temperatures and pressures, nitrogen is a gas, sulfur and phosphorus are solid, and bromine is a liquid. Nitrogen, in a gaseous state, is far less thermally conductive than the others.


What is the lowest temperature out of 0C -273F 0K?

Zero-K is. I could have told you that right away, even without seeing theothers, because zero-K is Absolute Zero, and there's no such thing as alower temperature. So there might be something else on the list that'stied for lowest, but there can't be anything that's lower.


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.


Which is the lowest 100 degrees celsius or 100 degrees kelvin or 100 degrees Fahrenheit?

100 degrees Kelvin is the lowest because it is based on the absolute zero point, where no thermal energy exists. 100 degrees Celsius and 100 degrees Fahrenheit are merely relative scales of measurement based on the properties of water and do not have an absolute zero point.

How would you use Thermal expansion and absolute zero in a sentence?

Thermal expansion is the tendency of a substance to change in volume with a change in temperature. Absolute zero is the lowest possible temperature at which a thermodynamic system reaches minimum energy. The concept of thermal expansion can be observed in materials expanding as they are heated, with absolute zero as the point where all thermal motion ceases.

Can the greatest common factor of a polynomial be smaller than the lowest coefficient?

Yes.


Which has lowest thermal conductivity?

silica Aerogel Refer to the chart from the Wikipedia article on thermal conductivity in related links.


Does gas have the lowest thermal energy?

either solid liquid or gass or vapor


Why mercury used in minimum thermometer?

Mercury is used in minimum thermometers because it has a low freezing point (-38.8°C) and a high coefficient of expansion, making it sensitive to small temperature changes. This allows the thermometer to accurately measure and record the lowest temperature reached during a specific period.

Would glass iron wood or Styrofoam have the lowest thermal conductivity?

Styrofoam would have the lowest thermal conductivity among these materials. It is a good insulator because it is made up of mostly trapped air bubbles that restrict the transfer of heat. Glass, iron, and wood have higher thermal conductivities compared to Styrofoam.


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.
