I got a question about thermal expansion coefficient. for ideal gas, the thermal expansion coefficient equals to 1/T, what does this T mean? absolute temperature? So, if Tw=300K, Th=1100K, how to calculate the thermal expansion coefficient? T=0.5*(300+1100)? or just simply choose 273.15 as the denominator? Can anyone help me? thanks!
