Linear Thermal Expansion The term thermal expansion refers to the increase in size of an object as that object is heated. With relatively few exceptions‚ all objects expand when they are heated and contract when they are cooled. Perhaps the most important exception to this rule is water. Water contracts as it cools from its boiling point to about 39.2°F (4°C). At that point‚ it begins to expand as it cools further to its freezing point. This unusual effect explains the fact that ice is less dense

Coefficient of Linear Expansion Introduction With few exceptions materials expand somewhat when heated through a temperature range that does not produce a change in phase (i.e. melting‚ freezing‚ boiling etc.). The added heat increases the average amplitude of vibration of the atoms in the material‚ which increases the average separation between the atoms. Although this effect is small‚ it is very important in any application that involves using different materials in an environment where they

Globalization‚ as represented through the entry of McDonald’s into East Asia‚ is a series of cultural ‘give and take’‚ as businesses change to local preferences and consumers adapt to the various new disciplines of foreign enterprises. This combats the idea of American imperialism‚ as the new product formed from this ‘give and take’ is often vastly different from the original‚ sometimes even harboring completely adapted missions. Golden Arches East‚ by James L. Watson‚ chronicles how McDonald’s and its customers
