Volume Expansion
The change in volume of a material which undergoes a temperature change is given by
Notice that for solids, `beta` is normally equal to approximately `3alpha`
`∆V = betaV_0∆T`
Where `∆T` is the change in temperature, `V_0` is the original volume, `∆V` is the change in volume, and `beta` is the coefficient of volume expansion.
The units of `beta` are `(C°)^(-1)`.
