Want to know effect of differnet material on capillary action

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the effect of different materials on capillary action, specifically the capillary rise of liquids such as water, mercury, and glycerin. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the relationship between density, contact angle, and surface tension, which can be calculated using provided equations. Practical values for capillary rise in standard capillary tubes for various liquids are sought, with a reference link provided for further exploration of the topic.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of capillary action principles
  • Familiarity with surface tension concepts
  • Knowledge of liquid properties such as density and contact angle
  • Basic mathematical skills for applying relevant equations
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the capillary rise equation and its components
  • Explore published values for surface tension and contact angles of various liquids
  • Conduct experiments measuring capillary rise in different materials
  • Learn about the effects of temperature on capillary action
USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and researchers in physics and material science, particularly those interested in fluid dynamics and capillary action phenomena.

Hey,

I need to know the effect ( capillary rise) due to different materials on capillary action.

Also, what is the reason behind it, not so complex, just in simple language.

It will be more good if I'll get the practical and calculated values of height in capillary tube of different substances, such as water, mercury, glycerin, and 2 to 3 liquids more..

Thnx in advance, please help soon..

Well, I also need the values of capillary rise of water, mercury and some more liquids with any standard capillary.. Can anyone provide it to me please
 
The link I posted has an equation by which you can deduce it from density, contact angle and surface tension. Each of those should have values published on the net for various liquids.
 
Whyonlyme, please stop posting your homework in the science forums.
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
