Input interpretation
thermal deformation
Equation
δ = α L (T_2 - T) | δ | deformation α | linear coefficient of thermal expansion L | length T | temperature T_2 | equilibrium temperature
Input values
linear coefficient of thermal expansion | 2.3×10^-5 K^(-1) (reciprocal kelvins difference) length | 100 mm (millimeters) temperature | 25 °C (degrees Celsius) equilibrium temperature | 75 °C (degrees Celsius)
Result
deformation | 115 µm (micrometers) = 0.004528 inches = 0.115 mm (millimeters) = 0.0115 cm (centimeters) = 1.15×10^-4 meters
