    Breaking surface tension in a water droplet (within a 0.88mm tube)

    Hi Harrylin, That was my thoughts, so I have bent the tube so that the last 8mm is almost pointing vertically down. I thought about expanding the end and / or cutting a 'V' into the into the lower part of the end, but when the tube itself is only 0.8mm ID the I'll need someone with a...

    Breaking the surface tension of a droplet within a tube

    Ahh, now that's a good idea. Thanks Chemistree :-)

    Breaking surface tension in a water droplet (within a 0.88mm tube)

    *****NOTE***** This was originally posted in the Chemistry forum, as I though they might have a solution, but it seems they didn't. I work with a team of physicists, and they weren't sure of the answer, but saying that, they are VERY specialised.

    Breaking surface tension in a water droplet (within a 0.88mm tube)

    Just to make it a bit clearer. I am using capillary action to draw the water horizontally to the end of the tube and even with the tube pointing slightly down there isn't enough force for the water to drip out. I had a light bulb moment and thought that if I can somehow break the surface...

    Breaking surface tension in a water droplet (within a 0.88mm tube)

    Hi, I wasn't actually sure where I should post this. I am trying am experiment where I need to briefly break the surface tension of a droplet to then allow another droplet to form in it's place. I don't want to use any chemicals as that would effect the test further down the line. Is...

    Breaking the surface tension of a droplet within a tube

    I have to say I'm quite surprised no one here has a clue, I was advised to post here as you guys should know the answer, I'll try the physicists...
