Thermal expansion can be utilized in various ways, such as in thermostats for temperature control, in sensors to measure temperature changes, and in bi-metallic strips for switches and circuit breakers. It is also used in building materials to accommodate temperature variations without causing structural damage.
The unit of thermal conductivity is watts per meter kelvin (W/mK). It represents how well a material conducts heat.
The unit of thermal conductivity in the cgs system is cal/(cmsK), where cal is the calorie, cm is centimeter, s is second, and K is Kelvin.
The thermal speed of electrons in a conductor is typically on the order of 1,000,000 m/s. This speed represents the average velocity of electrons due to their thermal energy at a given temperature. It is important to note that individual electron velocities can vary widely within the conductor.
Mechanical advantage is the term used to describe the ability of a machine to increase the output force. It represents the ratio of the output force to the input force in a machine. By utilizing mechanical advantage, machines can make it easier to perform tasks that would otherwise require more force.
Heat flows from an object with a higher temperature to an object with a lower temperature due to the temperature difference, following the second law of thermodynamics. This process continues until thermal equilibrium is reached where both objects have the same temperature.
