Question

Relation between coefficient of thermal expansion and coefficient of volume expansion

Answer 1

Answer:

The relationship between the area and linear thermal expansion coefficient is given as the following: αA=2αL α A = 2 α L . Just like the linear expansion coefficient, the area thermal expansion coefficient works as an approximation over a narrow temperature interval only.

Answer 2

Answer:

To a first approximation, the change in length measurements of an object (linear dimension as opposed to, for example, volumetric dimension) due to thermal expansion is related to temperature change by a linear expansion coefficient. It is the fractional change in length per degree of temperature change.
