Question

The coefficient of linear expansion of Iron is 12 x 10-6 per 0C. Find the coefficient of superficial expansion.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Linear thermal expansion is ΔL = αLΔT, where ΔL is the change in length L, ΔT is the change in temperature, and α is the coefficient of linear expansion, which varies slightly with temperature. The change in area due to thermal expansion is ΔA = 2αAΔT, where ΔA is the change in area.
