Best Answer

Transformers can be filled with various types of Refined Mineral Oil. That coefficient is something you would find in specifications of the supplier.

Commonly, it is .08% per degree Centigrade.

What is Coefficient of cubical expansion of heavy water?

The coefficient of thermal expansion depends on the temperature and pressure. It a pressure of 1 atmosphere the coefficient of thermal expansion are:at 4 deg C : –0.1321 at 20 deg C : 0.1212 at 50 deg C : 0.4280 at 100 deg C: 0.7454.


Why should the coefficient of thermal expansion of a refractory metal be the lowest?

refractory metals have high melting points and are used in extremely hot environments; if expansion coefficient is lower this prevents high stresses that can develop due to thermal gradients during the high heat up. It helps to have high thermal conductivity as well


Why does the thermometer fill with mercury?

It's used in thermometers because it has high coefficient of expansion. also it's the only metal in a liquid state.


Will the volume change in the container?

Yes, depending on what material it's made of, it would have a different coefficient of thermal expansion. Materials expand with heat.


What is the thermal expansion coefficient of ammonia gas at standard temperature and pressure?

Most of the time when you encounter argon and nitrogen they will be gasses. Until you get up to high pressures, they will both behave more or less like ideal gasses. For an ideal gas, the volumetric thermal expansivity (i.e. relative change in volume due to temperature change) is: ßp = 1/T where p denotes a constant pressure process. The coefficient of linear expansion can be calculated from this to get: α ≈ ßp/3 For liquids, the value has to be measured because it certainly isn't an ideal gas when it is liquid! For liquid argon, the coefficient of thermal expansion is reported to be 0.01113 1/°C. For liquid nitrogen, the coefficient of thermal expansion is reported to be 0.00753 1/°C Note that you have to get down to cryogenic temperatures to liquefy argon and nitrogen and it tends to be under pressure when stored in a closed vessel.
