Research on Expansion Coefficient Based on Water Temperature Density Regression Function

Abstract

Based on the regression function of water temperature and water density, two expressions of the thermal expansion coefficient function of water are obtained by integrating and differentiating the function. Compared with the measured data, the theoretical formula of the integral method is in good agreement with the measured accumulated thermal expansion coefficient of water obtained by the cumulative step size. The theoretical formula of the differential method is in good agreement with the measured cumulative thermal expansion coefficient of water obtained by equal step size and variable step size. Therefore, no matter the theoretical formula of the integral method or differential method, it can be used for the thermal expansion coefficient of water with cumulative step size or with finite equal step size or finite variable step size. The theoretical formula of the thermal expansion coefficient of water with integral method and differential method is of high precision and easy to use.
