(12) Volumetric thermal expansion of a material under constant pressure constant temperature: On the basis of statistical thermodynamics, one can define the average of any property, say Volume, <V> as follows: <V>=?exp(?kTH?)dVd??Vexp(?kTH?)dVd??=?exp(?kTE+PV?)dVd??Vexp(?kTE+PV?)dVd??H=E+PV is the enthalpy of the system and d?={drdp}3N for N body system. The volumetric thermal expansion is defined as: ?=?V?1??T??V??. Using the above definition for average volume, derive the expression for volumetric thermal expansion.
