Thermal Expansion Force Calculator, Formula, Thermal Expansion Force Calculation

Thermal Expansion Force Calculator:

Enter the values of Young’s Modulus of the material E_(PSI) , Thermal expansion coefficient a_{(inches/inches * F)}, Change in Temperature T_(F) & cross sectional area A_(inches²₎    to determine the value of Thermal Expansion Force F_(lbf) .

Thermal Expansion Force Formula:

The Young’s Modulus of the material E_(PSI) in PSI into multiply to the Thermal expansion coefficient a_{(inches/inches * F)} in inches/inches*F and multiply the Change in Temperature T_(F) in F and again multiply the cross sectional area A_(inches²₎ in inches square is equal to the Thermal Expansion Force F_(lbf) in lbf.

The Formula of Thermal Expansion Force can be writtern as,

F_(lbf) = E_(PSI) * a_{(inches/inches * F)} * T_(F) * A_(inches²₎

Here,

F_(lbf) = Thermal Expansion Force in lbf

E_(PSI) = Young’s Modulus of the material in PSI

a_{(inches/inches * F)} = Thermal expansion coefficient in inches/inches*F

T_(F) = Change in Temperature in F

A_(inches²₎ = cross sectional area in inches square

Example Problems for  Thermal Expansion Force:

1)Calculate the Thermal Expansion Force and given for E = 5000PSI , a  = 2 inches / inches * F , T = 6 F , A = 10inches².

Answer

F = E * a * T * A

F = 5000 * 2 * 6 * 10

F = 6,00,000lbf.

2)Calculate the cross sectional are and given for E = 5000PSI , a  = 2 inches / inches * F , T = 6 F , F = 6,00,000lbf.

Answer

F = E * a * T * A

6,00,000 = 5000 * 2 * 6 * A

A = 10inches².
