  2. Surface tension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_tension

    Surface tension is an important factor in the phenomenon of capillarity. Surface tension has the dimension of force per unit length, or of energy per unit area. [4] The two are equivalent, but when referring to energy per unit of area, it is common to use the term surface energy, which is a more general term in the sense that it applies also to ...

  3. Maximum bubble pressure method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_bubble_pressure_method

    (σ: surface tension, ΔP max: maximum pressure drop, R cap: radius of capillary) Later, after the maximum pressure, the pressure of the bubble decreases and the radius of the bubble increases until the bubble is detached from the end of a capillary and a new cycle begins. This is not relevant to determine the surface tension. [3]

    Surface tension prevents the clip from submerging and the water from overflowing the glass edges. Temperature dependence of the surface tension of pure water. Water has an unusually high surface tension of 71.99 mN/m at 25 °C [64] which is caused by the strength of the hydrogen bonding between water molecules. [65] This allows insects to walk ...

    Flux F through a surface, dS is the differential vector area element, n is the unit normal to the surface. Left: No flux passes in the surface, the maximum amount flows normal to the surface. Right: The reduction in flux passing through a surface can be visualized by reduction in F or dS equivalently (resolved into components, θ is angle to ...

  9. Capillary length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_length

    However, a fluid also experiences pressure that is induced by surface tension, commonly referred to as the Young–Laplace pressure. [1] Surface tension originates from cohesive forces between molecules, and in the bulk of the fluid, molecules experience attractive forces from all directions. The surface of a fluid is curved because exposed ...
