What are the two types of thermal expansion?

Linear expansion and volumetric expansion are the two types of thermal expansion. Linear expansion is the increase in length of a material when heated, while volumetric expansion refers to the increase in volume of a material when heated.


What is linear expansion?

If a body is heated and after heating the body if the expand in one dimension then it is called linear expansion


What is the coefficient of linear expansion of mercury?

-39 degrees celsius to 450 degrees celsius


What is the relationship of coefficient linear expansion to actual expansion?

The coefficient of linear expansion is a constant value that quantifies how much a material expands per degree Celsius increase in temperature. The actual expansion of an object can be calculated by multiplying the coefficient of linear expansion by the original length of the object and the temperature change.


Does the coefficient of linear expansion depends upon length?

yes,according to relation coefficient of linear expansion depends upon original length.


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 is the cubical coefficient of thermal expansion for metals?

Since most metals are isotropic, the cubical coefficient of expansion is three times the linear coefficient of expansion. The linear coefficient of expansion is obtained from measurement and tables for the specific material which are readily available.


Linear expansion apparatus?

Linear expansion apparatus is the apparatus used to measure the objects to these following properties: -> coefficient linear expansion -> coefficient thermal expansion -> specific gravity -> specific heat -> thermal conductivity -> thermal resistivity -> breaking strength and many others..


Does coefficient of linear expansion depend on length?

No, the coefficient of linear expansion does not depend on the initial length of the material. It is a material property that remains constant regardless of the length.


As the temperature increases materials with large coefficients of linear expansion increase a lot in size while materials with small coefficients of linear expansion increase a in size?

Large


What is the definition of the linear view?

linear views means views of line ;)


What is the relation between the coefficient of linear and superficial and volume expansion respectively?

The coefficient of linear expansion (α) is one-third of the coefficient of superficial expansion (β), and the coefficient of superficial expansion is one-third of the coefficient of volume expansion (γ). This relationship follows from the dimensional analysis of the expansion coefficients in the respective directions.
