Thermal expansion of solids and liquids
Solved problems
(1) A segment of steel railroad track has a length of 30.00m when the temperature
is 0.00C.
(a) what is its length when the temperature is 40.00C?
(b) suppose the ends of the rail are rigidly clamped at 0.00C so that expansion is
prevented. What is the thermal stress set up in the rail if its temperature is raised
to 40.00C take the Young modulus of the steel to be 20 x 1010Nm-2 and coefficient
of linear expansion is 11 x 10-6(0C)-1
c) What is the length of the unclamped segment if the temperature drops to
- 40.00C?
(2)The active element of a certain laser is a glass rod 30.0 cm long by 1.50 cm in
diameter. If the temperature of the rod increases by 65.0°C, what is the increase
in (a) its length, (b) its diameter, and (c) its volume? (Assume that = 9.00x10-6
°C-1.)
Solution
1. (a) Recall that,
∆𝐿
𝐿𝑖
=⍺∆T
so that
∆𝐿 = 𝐿𝑖 ⍺∆T
= 30.0 x 11 x 10-6 x 40.0
∆L = 0.013m
𝐿𝑓 = 30.0 + 0.013 = 30.013m
(b) The thermal stress is the same as the tensile stress in the situation in which the ray expands freely.
𝑇𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑙𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑠
Young Modulus = Young Modulus = 𝑇𝑒𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑙𝑒 𝑆𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑛

Tensile stress, 𝐴
= 𝑌 𝐿 = 20 𝑥 1010 ( 30.0 )
𝑖
= 8.7 𝑥 107 𝑁/𝑚2
c) ∆𝐿 = 𝐿𝑖 ⍺∆T
In this case there will be a decrease in length when the temperature decreases. We assume ⍺ is constant over the
entire range of temperature.
Therefore, if there is increase in the length by 0.013m when the temperature increases by 40.00C, there will be a
decrease in the length by 0.013m if the temperature decreases by 40.00C.
The new length at the colder temperature is 30.0 – 0.013 = 29.987m
∆𝐿
2(a) =⍺∆T
𝐿𝑖
so that
∆𝐿 = 𝐿𝑖 ⍺∆T
∆L = 0.30 x 9 x 10-6 x 65.0= 1.76 × 10−4 𝑚
b) Before, I can find an increase in the area of a (cylindrical) rod, I need to get the increase in the
cross-sectional area first,
∆𝐴 𝑑2 0.0152
=β⍺∆T , Area of a rod, 𝐴𝑖 = π𝑟 2 = π = 3.142 × = 1.77 × 10−4 𝑚2
𝐴𝑖 4 4
so that
∆𝐴 = 𝐴𝑖 β∆T=𝐴𝑖 2⍺∆T
= 1.77 × 10−4 x 2× 9 x 10-6 x 65.0
∆A = 2.07 × 10−7 𝑚2

A poorly designed electronic device has two bolts attached to different parts of the device that
almost touch each other in its interior as shown in the figure. The steel and brass bolts are at
different electric potentials, and if they touch, a short circuit will develop, damaging the device.
The initial gap between the ends of the bolts is 5.0μm at 27.00C. At what temperature will the
bolts touch? Take coefficient of linear expansion for steel and brass respectively to be
11 𝑥 10−6 /0C and 19 𝑥 10−6 /0C.
Solution
At a particular change in temperature, ∆T,
The steel will increase in length by ∆𝐿𝑠 = 𝐿𝑖,𝑠 ⍺𝑠 ∆T
so also the brass will increase by ∆𝐿𝑏 = 𝐿𝑖,𝑏 ⍺𝑏 ∆T at the same temperature
change.
Therefore, ∆𝐿𝑠 + ∆𝐿𝑏 = 5.0 𝑥10−6𝑚
𝐿𝑖,𝑠 ⍺𝑠 ∆T +𝐿𝑖,𝑏 ⍺𝑏 ∆T = 5.0 𝑥10−6
(𝐿𝑖,𝑠 ⍺𝑠 +𝐿𝑖,𝑏 ⍺𝑏 )∆T = 5.0 𝑥10−6
5.0 𝑥10−6
∆𝑇 =
𝐿𝑖,𝑠 ⍺𝑠 +𝐿𝑖,𝑏 ⍺𝑏
5.0 𝑥10−6
∆𝑇 =
(0.010 x 11 x 10−6)+(0.030 x 19 x 10−6)
∆𝑇 = 7.40C
The temperature at which the bolts will touch is now 270C+7.40C
= 34.40C

Heat and 1st Law of Thermodynamics:
Heat Capacity and Specific Heat Capacity
Units of energy include calorie and Joule.
1 Calorie = 4.186 J
This equality is known as the mechanical equivalent of heat.
Heat Capacity and Specific Heat Capacity
The heat capacity C of a particular sample of a substance is defined as the
amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of that sample by 1°C.
e.g. if the energy needed to raise the temp. of a sample by T is Q, then
𝑄
𝐶= so that,
∆𝑇
𝑄 = 𝐶∆𝑇
Heat and 1st Law of Thermodynamics
Dividing the above equation by the mass, m, of the substance
produces a quantity called specific heat, c (Energy needed to raise
the temperature of a unit mass of a sample by 1°C.
𝐶 𝑄
i.e c = = ,
𝑚 𝑚∆𝑇
Which implies that 𝑄 = 𝑚𝑐∆𝑇
Specific heat capacity is a measure of how thermally insensitive a
substance is to the addition of energy.
The higher the c, the more energy must be added to a given mass
of the material to cause a particular temperature change.

Heat and 1st Law of Thermodynamics
Conservation of Energy
Qcold = -Qhot
i.e. mccc Tc= -mhch Th
If the initial temps. of the cold and hot substances are T1 and T2,
and when in contact reached a final temp. Tf. Then
mccc(Tf-T1)= -mhch(Tf-T2)
Heat and 1st Law of Thermodynamics
Latent Heat
There are situations in which the transfer of energy to a substance does not result
into a change in temperature.
This is always the case when phase change occurs.
Two common phase changes are: Change between Solid and liquid and Change
between liquid and gas:
Solid to liquid-melting
Liquid to solid – freezing
Liquid to gas – Vaporisation
Gas to liquid – Condensation
Other change is between Solid and gas.
Solid to gas – Sublimation (Iodine, Camphor, Ammonium Chloride, Naphthalene)
Gas to Solid – Desublimation/Deposition
Heat and 1st Law of Thermodynamics
The amount of energy transfer during the phase changes is also
dependent on mass.
The energy transfer per unit mass during a phase change is called
latent heat, L.
i.e. L = Q/m Q = mL
L depends on the nature of phase change, so there are:
Latent heat of fusion for melting and
Latent heat of vaporization for boiling
Calculate the total amount of energy that must added to
change 1g of ice at -30oC to steam at 120oC as shown in
the figure below:

Worked Examples
1. A 0.05kg ingot of metal is heated to 200.00C and then dropped
into a light insulated beaker containing 0.400kg of water
initially at 20.00C. the final equilibrium temperature of the
mixed system is 22.40C. Find the specific heat capacity of the
metal assuming the energy absorbed by the container is
negligible. Take the specific heat capacity of water to be
4186J(kg0C)-1
solution
(1) Recall that,
Qcold = -Qhot
Assumptions: we assume that the system is sealed and some of
water that may vaporize when the ingot is dropped cannot
escape;
Since the container is light and insulated, it means the mass and
heat absorbed by the container is negligible.
i.e. mccc Tc = -mhch Th

cm = 452.5Jkg−1K−1 = 4.53x102Jkg-1K-1
1. What mass of steam initially at 1300C is needed to warm
200.0g of water in a 100.0g glass container from 200C to
500C?
Latent heat of fusion of ice = 3.33 x 105Jkg-1
Latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.26 x 106Jkg-1
Specific heat capacity of ice = 2.09 x 103Jkg-1K-1
Specific heat capacity of water = 4.19 x 103Jkg-1K-1
Specific heat capacity of steam = 2.01 x 103Jkg-1K-1
Specific heat capacity of the metal = 8.37 x 102Jkg-1K-1
2) Recall that,
Qcold = -Qhot
In this case, the gaseous water i.e. the steam (hot body) undergoes three
processes:
A decrease in temperature from 1300C to 1000C;
Condensation into liquid water at 1000C and lastly;
A decrease in temperature of the water from 1000C to 500C

The 1st law of thermodynamics explains that, the only energy change is that of
internal energy, which is due to transfers of energy by heat or work.
The first law makes no distinction between the results of heat and the results of
work.
According to the first law, a system’s internal energy can be changed either by an
energy transfer by heat to or from the system or by work done on or by the
system.
Heat and 1st Law of Thermodynamics
Internal energy
This is all the energy of a system that is associated with its
microscopic components—atoms and molecules—when viewed
from a reference frame at rest with respect to the object.
For a monoatomic ideal gas, the only type of energy available for
its microscopic component is associated with translational motion.
Both heat and work are ways of changing the energy of a system.
Heat: it is Heat, when the transfer is as a result of temperature.
