Pipeline expand due to the difference in temperature

Reference no: EM13539321

The Trans-Alaskan pipeline is 1300 km long, reaching from Prudhoe Bay to the port of Valdez, and is subject to temperatures ranging from -73°C to +35°C. How much does the steel (average coefficent of linear expansion 11 x 10-6 (°C)-1) pipeline expand due to the difference in temperature?
