CHAPTER 6 THERMAL EXPANSION Flashcards
1
Q
is a
property that is
indicative
of a material’s ability to
absorb heat from the
external surroundings;
A
Heat capacity
2
Q
are in the form of lattice waves or phonons
A
Atomic vibrations
3
Q
3 Types of Thermal Expansion
A
- Linear expansion
- Area expansion
- Volume expansion
4
Q
is the phenomenon by which heat is transported
from high- to low-temperature regions of a substance.
A
Thermal conduction
5
Q
are stresses induced in a body as a result of
changes in temperature. An understanding of the origins and
nature of thermal stresses is important because these stresses
can lead to fracture or undesirable plastic deformation.
A
Thermal stresses
6
Q
- Most solid materials expand upon heating and contract when
cooled.
A
THERMAL EXPANSION
7
Q
The capacity of a material to withstand failure (Crack formation and brittle
fracture) is termed its thermal shock resistance.
A
Thermal Shock of Brittle Materials
