coefficient of volume change
1Coefficient — Co ef*fi cient, n. 1. That which unites in action with something else to produce the same effect. [1913 Webster] 2. [Cf. F. coefficient.] (Math.) A number or letter put before a letter or quantity, known or unknown, to show how many times the… …
2Coefficient of thermal expansion — When the temperature of a substance changes, the energy that is stored in the intermolecular bonds between atoms changes. When the stored energy increases, so does the length of the molecular bonds. As a result, solids typically expand in… …
3coefficient — 1. The expression of the amount or degree of any quality possessed by a substance, or of the degree of physical or chemical change normally occurring in that substance under stated conditions. 2. The ratio or factor that relates a quantity… …
4coefficient of expansion — noun the fractional change in length or area or volume per unit change in temperature at a given constant pressure • Syn: ↑expansivity • Hypernyms: ↑coefficient * * * : the ratio of the increase of length, area, or volume of a body per degree… …

7coefficient of expansion — [1] Increase in unit length, area, or volume for one degree rise in temperature. [2] The fractional change in length, area or volume per unit change in tem of a solid, liquid, or gas at a given constant pressure. e.g., an aluminum bar stretches… …
8coefficient of expansion — Physics. the fractional change in length, area, or volume per unit change in temperature of a solid, liquid, or gas at a given constant pressure. Also called expansivity. [1870 75] * * * …
9coefficient of thermal expansion — the change in volume per unit volume of a substance produced by a 1°C temperature increase …
10coefficient of compressibility — the decrease in volume per unit volume (as of a gas) produced by a unit change in pressure …
