Thermal Expansion Coefficient

Name:
Thermal Expansion Coefficient
Detailed information:
The change in volume per unit volume per degree change in temperature (cubical coefficient). For isotropic solids the expansion is equal in all directions, and the cubical coefficient is about three times the linear coefficient of expansion. These coefficients vary with temperature, but for gases at constant pressure the coefficient of volume expansion is nearly constant and equals 0.00367 for each degree Celsius at any temperature.
