Thermal Expansion of Tube
Thermal Expansion of Tube
(OP)
Hello,
How to I calculate the change in ID of a hard coat anodized aluminum tube with an increase in temperature of the tube?
I found this formula:
d' = d(1 + \alpha \delta T)
\alpha is linear expansion coefficient
Does this work for both the ID and OD of the tube?
Regards,
Paul
