Free Expansion of Steel Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Free Expansion of Steel = Coefficient of Thermal Expansion*Temperature Rise*Length of Bar
ΔL_s = α_T*ΔT_rise*L_bar
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Free Expansion of Steel - (Measured in Meter) - Free Expansion of Steel is defined as the expansion of steel under thermal load when there is no constraint wall/end.
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion - (Measured in Per Kelvin) - The Coefficient of Thermal Expansion is a material property that is indicative of the extent to which a material expands upon heating.
Temperature Rise - (Measured in Kelvin) - Temperature Rise is the increment in temperature of a unit mass when the heat is applied.
Length of Bar - (Measured in Meter) - Length of Bar typically refers to the physical measurement of the bar along its longest dimension.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 1.7E-05 Per Degree Celsius --> 1.7E-05 Per Kelvin (Check conversion here)
Temperature Rise: 85 Kelvin --> 85 Kelvin No Conversion Required
Length of Bar: 2000 Millimeter --> 2 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ΔL_s = α_T*ΔT_rise*L_bar --> 1.7E-05*85*2

Evaluating ... ...

ΔL_s = 0.00289
