The Anomalous Thermal Expansion of Water
Ivanov, Dragia; Nikolov, Stefan
Physics Education, v55 n5 Article 055008 Sep 2020
The anomalous thermal expansion of water in the 0 °C-4 °C range is extremely important to life on Earth, but it is normally not presented experimentally in educational settings. This paper presents a simple experiment to explore the anomalous thermal expansion of water in the 0 °C-4 °C range and the heat exchange processes in natural bodies of water in the winter and spring.
