explain the expansion of cavity in metals in terms of 'application of thermal expansion'

Open in App
Solution

Dear student,For the expansion of cavity in metal pressure is one factor causing expansion while the thermal properties of the material are another factor.MathematicallyDD =αTD=Change in diameter of cavity(spherical cavity)D=Initial diameter of sphereα=coefficient of linear thermal expansion T=change in temperatureDue to the above mentioned relation the cavity expandsRegards
