Thermal expansion generally decreases with increasing bond energy, which also has an effect on
the melting point of solids, so, high melting point materials are more likely to have lower thermal
expansion. In general, liquids expand slightly more than solids. The thermal expansion of glasses is
higher compared to that of crystals
Psychrometrics, psychrometry, and hygrometry are names for the field of engineering
concerned with the physical and thermodynamic properties of gas-vapor mixtures.
