Thermal Expansion Calculator | Linear, Area & Volume Expansion Tool

Thermal Expansion Tool Formula:

Linear Expansion:

\[ \Delta L = \alpha \times L_{0} \times \Delta T \]

Area Expansion:

\[ \Delta A = \beta \times A_{0} \times \Delta T \]

(where β = 2α)

Volume Expansion:

\[ \Delta V = \gamma \times V_{0} \times \Delta T \]

(where γ = 3α)

Thermal Expansion Calculator: This is an engineering, student, and designer software used to calculate the expansion of materials with a temperature change. In solids, liquids, and gases, Thermal expansion is the process that takes place as the temperature decreases or increases. Depending on the application, the expansion may be linear, area, or volumetric.

Initial length, area, or volume (L 0, A 0, V 0), change of temperature ( 0), and coefficient of thermal expansion ( -1, -2, - ) can be entered by the user. The calculator calculates the linear expansion ( 1 ), area expansion ( 1 ), and volume expansion ( 1 ) with the help of the standard equations:

Solutions in steps give an understanding of how the materials increase with the temperature and are used in design structures, pipelines, bridges, and mechanical parts. SI units are accepted: m, cm, mm, K,°CC. The tool is perfect in the case of the mechanical or civil engineers, material engineers, and students as well, where correct analysis and safe design is required.
