What is the difference in volume of 100 gallons of gasoline at 60 degrees compared to 90 degrees?

Answer 1

equation for change in volume:

.

coefficient of volumetric expansion * original volume * temp. change

.

0.00095 * 100 * 30 = 2.85 gallons, add to original = 100 + 2.85 = 102.85 gallons

Answer 2

The volume of gasoline increases as temperature increases. However, without specific temperature coefficients, it is difficult to determine the exact difference in volume between 60 degrees and 90 degrees. Generally, gasoline expands by about 0.00046 per degree Fahrenheit, so the volume of 100 gallons of gasoline would increase by approximately 1.38 gallons when comparing 60 degrees to 90 degrees.
