🔍 Key Concepts

• Thermal expansion of liquids – what happens to volume when temperature goes up or down • Meaning of coefficient of expansion (0.0004 per °F) and how to use it in a formula • Difference between observed volume (at 70°F) and standard volume (usually 60°F in petroleum work)

💭 Think About

• Is the 5,000 barrels measured at the warmer temperature (70°F) or at a base temperature? If it’s warmer, is the corrected (net) volume going to be larger or smaller? Why? • How do you set up the relationship between volume and temperature: does the correction factor multiply or divide the observed volume when going from a higher temperature down to a standard temperature? • Compute the temperature difference from standard conditions, apply the coefficient (0.0004) to that difference, and decide whether that factor should increase or decrease the 5,000 barrels to get net barrels.

✅ Before You Answer

• Compute ΔT (change in temperature) from the usual petroleum standard of 60°F to 70°F • Calculate the expansion factor using 0.0004 × ΔT and decide if the final factor is greater than or less than 1.0 • Before picking an answer, check that the net barrels are slightly different from 5,000, not drastically higher or lower, because the temperature change is only 10°F.
