When energy travels from one object to another it is said to have undergone heat transfer. Heat transfer is nothing but the transfer of thermal energy or internal energy from one thing to another, like e.g., when a vessel with water, kept on top of a bur…

Chapter 4.6, Problem 4.75P

The 40-ft-long A-36 steel rails on a train track are laid with a small gap between them to allow for thermal expansion. Determine the required gap δ so that the rails just touch one another when the temperature is increased from T₁ = −20°F to T₂ = 90°F. Using this gap, what would be the axial force in the rails if the temperature rises to T₃ = 110°F? The cross-sectional area of each rail is 5.10 in².

The 40-ft-long A-36 steel rails on a train track are laid with a small gap between them to allow for thermal expansion. Determine the required gap d so that the rails just touch one another when the temperature is increased from T1 = -20F to T2 = 90F. Using this gap, what would be the axial force in the rails if the temperature rises to T3 = 110F? The cross-sectional area of each rail is 5.10 in2.
