TOTALTHERMALEXP
TOTALTHERMALEXP [ - ] returns the total thermal expansion of an incompressible substance, defined as the ratio of its change in length at a specified temperature to its length at 20 C (68 F) . The first argument must be the name of an incompressible substance. The second argument must be temperature provided in the unit system that EES is configured to operate in.
Example:
$Load Incompressible
$UnitSystem SI C kPa mass
DELTAL\L_293=totalthermalexp(Copper, T=25 [C])
{Solution:
DELTAL\L_293=0.00008204 [-]
}
