Thermal Properties and Effects Quiz

• Thermal properties comprise the following: thermal conductivity; specific heat capacity; enthalpy; latent heat; thermal expansion; and thermal stress.
• Thermal expansion occurs when a material contracts or expands in response to a change in temperature.
• Latent heat is the amount of heat needed to cause a phase change between solid and liquid.
• Thermal stress is the stress experienced by a body due to either thermal expansion or contraction.
• Crack is a result of thermal stress.

Test your knowledge of thermal properties, including thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity, enthalpy, latent heat, thermal expansion, and thermal stress. This quiz also covers the effects of thermal expansion and contraction, latent heat, and thermal stress on materials.
