Area Thermal Expansion Coefficient
Area Thermal Expansion Coefficient
Area thermal expansion coefficient ( \(\gamma\) ) (also known as coefficient of aerial thermal expansion) is the ratio of the change in size of a material to its change in temperature.
Area Thermal Expansion Coefficient FORMULA
\(\large{ \gamma = \frac { 1 }{ A } \frac {\Delta A } {\Delta T} }\)
Where:
\(\large{ \gamma }\) (Greek symbol gamma) = area thermal expansion coefficient
\(\large{ A }\) = area of the object
\(\large{ \Delta A }\) = area differential
\(\large{ \Delta T }\) = temperature differential
