EQ(s): What is the principle of thermal expansion? Why does thermal expansion need to be a consideration for every construction project?
Copy the following to your engineering notebook:
The Greek symbol Delta means change
Where Delta L equals a change in Length
Delta T equals a change in Temperature
Alpha is the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
L sub O equals the original length of the object.
Notice that the same equation is used for solving for area and volume as well.
Be prepared to take part in an activity where a thermal expansion problem is solved.
