In summary, the experiment involves a hollow silicone tube with a diameter of 7 mm and a wall thickness of 1.5 mm. Two copper foil plates with an area of 64 mm^2 are included in the setup. The question is whether the presence of a fluid, specifically distilled water, passing through the tube would result in a noticeable change in capacitance. The dielectric constants for silicone and distilled water are 2.85 and 80, respectively. The experiment also aims to determine if there will be a difference in capacitance before and during the presence of the water.

Consider having a hollow silicone tube of 7 mm diameter and a wall thickness of 1.5 mm. There are two copper foil plates that are both 64 mm^2 in area. Will a fluid, such as distilled water, passing through said tube have an measurable influence on producing a change in capacitance?

Note: k = 2.85 for silicone and 80 for distilled H2O. Will said capacitance be different before and during the presence of the H2O?

Where are the copper plates? Whose capacitance?
 

1. What is the dielectric effect of H2O in a hollow silicone tube?
