Thermal expansion coefficient: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 11:23, 3 March 2011

The thermal expansion coefficient, $\alpha$ is given by

\alpha ={\frac {1}{V}}\left.{\frac {\partial V}{\partial T}}\right\vert _{p}

where $V$ is the volume, $T$ is the temperature and $p$ is the pressure.
