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 are two examples of thermal expansion in solid?

Two examples of thermal expansion in solids are the expansion of a metal rod when heated, causing it to increase in length, and the expansion of a bridge beam on a hot day, resulting in the beam bending slightly due to the increase in temperature.

Which of the two metals contract more when cooled?

Generally, all metals contract when cooled. However, the rate at which they contract depends on their coefficient of thermal expansion. In general, materials with higher coefficients of thermal expansion will contract more when cooled.


Why small gaps are left in between two adjacent pieces of railway track?

These gaps are thermal expansion joints, they prevent the rails from buckling when they get hot in the summer. Although modern welded rail only has these gaps every mile or so to reduce the vibration and noise of the wheel crossing them (instead of every 40 feet on unwelded rail). All construction must provide for thermal expansion (e.g. bridges have thermal expansion joints, concrete road paving has thermal expansion grooves).


Why the bimetallic strip bent with the heat?

A bimetallic strip is composed of two different metals with different coefficients of thermal expansion. When heated, the two metals expand at different rates, causing the strip to bend. The side with higher expansion will curve outward due to the lengthening of that metal compared to the other side.


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..


How do you get two plastic cups unstuck?

Put ice in the inside one and rub the out one. The ice will result in thermal contraction and the friction in thermal expansion. Neither will be large but should be sufficient.
