They work when steam and water occupy a tube that is on a slight incline. As water level drops the steam space inside the tube expands. The expanding tube is connected to a linkage which will open the water valve as more steam occupies the tube than water.

The coefficient of the thermal expansion of water is equal to .00021. Water expands by 9% of its volume when it freezes.
Unlike most substances, when water freezes, it forms a structure that is less dense than the liquid it is in equilibrium with (which is why ice floats on liquid water). It is also unusual in that the maximum density of the liquid reaches a minimum at a temperature ABOVE the freezing point - roughly 1.0000 g/cm3 at 4 °C - before it begins to increase as it approaches the freezing point. Water thus has a negative coefficient of thermal expansion between 0 °C and 4 °C and a zero coefficient right at 4 °C. Other substances have uniformly positive coefficients of thermal expansion.
Heat the metal lid (but try not to heat the glass jar as much) and the thermal expansion will make the lit easier to screw off (I do this often by running the lid under hot tap water).
temperaturewater's most density: 4 degrees Celsius ( = lowest expansion rate)
one example of thermal expansion is when in the kitchen and you can not open a can of vegetable(example) you will put it in a pan of hot water and the water will push it off.

Thermal expansion relates to how things expand when they heat up and contract when they cool down. This also applies to the water in the ocean. The hotter it is, the more it expands, making sea levels rise.
Its a thermal expansion tank to absorb the pressure when the cold water heats in a hot water tank.
The coefficient of thermal expansion depends on the temperature and pressure. It a pressure of 1 atmosphere the coefficient of thermal expansion are:at 4 deg C : –0.1321 at 20 deg C : 0.1212 at 50 deg C : 0.4280 at 100 deg C: 0.7454.
It's called expansion, or thermal expansion. It's usually noted by the Greek character alpha.Most materials have alpha values greater than zero, so the thermal expansion occurs when temperature increases. However, some other materials have negative thermal expansion, as happens with water. Liquid water will increase its volume under cooling conditions below ~4 ºC. It will also increase it's volume as the temperature rises away from 4o C.
water doesnt undergo significant thermal expansion. alcohol expands more when it's heated
Because of continental ice melting and thermal expansion o the water itself.
when the temperature of the body is lowered or raised, it contracts or expands accordingly. If this expansion or contraction is prevented, then a stress is produced called thermal stress
