Volume Thermal Expansion Calculator (ΔV=βV₀ΔT)

Favorite

Compute volume expansion ΔV = β·V₀·ΔT and the expanded volume; for solids β ≈ 3α, and liquids use their volume expansion coefficient.

Key points

Volume Thermal Expansion Calculator (ΔV=βV₀ΔT): Compute volume expansion ΔV = β·V₀·ΔT and the expanded volume; for solids β ≈ 3α, and liquids use their volume expansion coefficient. Formula: ΔV = β·V₀·ΔT | solid β ≈ 3α. Enter parameters on the DD-CAT IDE online tool page to get results instantly, with a calculation-model diagram that updates with the inputs. Volume expansion ΔV = β·V₀·ΔT: β is the volume expansion coefficient; for isotropic solids β ≈ 3α. Liquid volume expansion is much larger than solids: water ≈ 210×10⁻⁶/°C (20 °C), alcohol ≈ 1100×10⁻⁶/°C.

Engineering notes

  • Volume expansion ΔV = β·V₀·ΔT: β is the volume expansion coefficient; for isotropic solids β ≈ 3α.
  • Liquid volume expansion is much larger than solids: water ≈ 210×10⁻⁶/°C (20 °C), alcohol ≈ 1100×10⁻⁶/°C.
  • Heating a sealed liquid-filled vessel creates huge pressure from expansion; hydraulic / tank systems need expansion space or relief.
