  2. Thermal expansion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_expansion

    Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to increase in length, area, or volume, changing its size and density, in response to an increase in temperature (usually ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics

    When matter is transferred into a system, the internal energy and potential energy associated with it are transferred into the new combined system. ( u Δ M ) i n = Δ U s y s t e m {\displaystyle \left(u\,\Delta M\right)_{\rm {in}}=\Delta U_{\rm {system}}} where u denotes the internal energy per unit mass of the transferred matter, as measured ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressibility

    where γ is the heat capacity ratio, α is the volumetric coefficient of thermal expansion, ρ = N/V is the particle density, and = (/) is the thermal pressure coefficient. In an extensive thermodynamic system, the application of statistical mechanics shows that the isothermal compressibility is also related to the relative size of fluctuations ...

  7. Thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamics

    Energy may be transferred into a system by heating, compression, or addition of matter, and extracted from a system by cooling, expansion, or extraction of matter. In mechanics , for example, energy transfer equals the product of the force applied to a body and the resulting displacement.

  8. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    The increase observed for water from 0 °C (32 °F) to 3.98 °C (39.16 °F) and for a few other liquids [d] is described as negative thermal expansion. Regular, hexagonal ice is also less dense than liquid water—upon freezing, the density of water decreases by about 9%. [36] [e]

  9. Thermal equation of state of solids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_equation_of_state...

    To distinguish these two thermal expansion equations of state, the latter one is called pressure-dependent thermal expansion equation of state. To deveop the pressure-dependent thermal expansion equation of state, in an compression process at room temperature from (V 0, T 0, P 0) to (V 1, T 0,P 1), a general form of volume is expressed as
