If thermal expansion occurs on a hot day the tracks will expand. Leaving a small space for the tracks to expand into means they will not buckle. The water level in the capillary tube is initially ...

The Thermal & Mechanical Properties Lab houses a complete thermal analysis suite and is part of the Core Research Facilities. In this lab, researchers are able to investigate the behavior of a ...

Scientists have developed a new alloy composed of multiple metals that exhibits nearly zero thermal expansion across an ...

To be effective, a heat pipe must be composed of material with high thermal conductivity, usually copper or copper alloy. The fluid inside must have the correct vapor pressure, viscosity and thermal ...

This article explores hot-pressed boron nitride, its thermal properties, and its practical applications. Image Credit: ...
