Thermal coefficient of expansion for glycerin

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the thermal coefficient of expansion for glycerin, specifically seeking reliable sources for this data. Users express frustration over Google search results that primarily provide mathematical examples rather than direct references. A specific coefficient value of 4.85 × 10^-4 (°C)-1 is mentioned, along with a link to a document that may contain relevant information. The need for credible sources and clear data on glycerin's thermal properties is emphasized throughout the conversation. Reliable documentation is crucial for accurate scientific reference.

Thread 'Ground coffee freshness question'

Somewhat separate from the coffee advice of “buy whole beans, grind fresh at home daily”, I'm looking to understand the factors that contribute to purchased ground coffee losing freshness after opening (oxygen, humidity, temperature, time, other?). I'm assuming oxidation is the main factor, assuming normal room temperature and mid-range humidity. It appears (I'm having trouble finding good info on this) that a high quality modern pre-ground coffee is packaged in a way that maintains...
