SUMMARY
Sources of error in calculating thermal expansion primarily stem from measurement inaccuracies and theoretical model assumptions. Key factors include the precision of temperature measurements, the material properties used in calculations, and the inherent uncertainties in the model itself. Understanding these sources is crucial for accurate thermal expansion calculations in engineering applications.
