Thermal Expansion Thermal expansion is the tendency of matter to change in volume in response to a change in temperature‚ through heat transfer. The coefficient of thermal expansion describes how the size of an object changes with a change in temperature. Specifically‚ it measures the fractional change in size per degree change in temperature at a constant pressure. Several types of coefficients have been developed: volumetric‚ area‚ and linear. This is used depending on the particular application
