Concept of Heat

Science > Physics > Thermal Properties of Matter and Thermodynamics > concept of Heat “Heat” refers to the transfer of thermal energy between substances due to a temperature difference. It’s a form of energy associated with the motion of atoms and molecules in a substance. Heat always flows from regions of higher temperature to regions […]

1 Comment on Applications of Expansion of Solids

Science > Physics > Thermal Properties of Matter and Thermodynamics > Applications of Expansion of Solids Linear expansion or longitudinal expansion refers to the increase in length of a solid material when its temperature rises. This phenomenon occurs due to the increased thermal energy within the material, causing its constituent particles to vibrate more vigorously, […]

Expansion of Solids

Science > Physics > Thermal Properties of Matter and Thermodynamics > Expansion of Solids Whenever there is an increase in the dimensions of a body due to heating, then the body is said to be expanded and the phenomenon is known as expansion of solids. Solids undergo three types of expansions a) Linear (Longitudinal) expansions, […]
