Capillary action (sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, capillary rise, capillary effect, or wicking) is the process of a liquid flowing in...

hairlike diameter of a capillary. While capillary is usually used as a noun, the word also is used as an adjective, as in "capillary action", in which a liquid...

statics, capillary pressure ( p c {\displaystyle {p_{c}}} ) is the pressure between two immiscible fluids in a thin tube (see capillary action), resulting...

for a specific liquid, usually water. Menisci are a manifestation of capillary action, by which either surface adhesion pulls a liquid up to form a concave...

In chemistry, polarity is a separation of electric charge leading to a molecule or its chemical groups having an electric dipole moment, with a negatively...

Jurin's law, or capillary rise, is the simplest analysis of capillary action—the induced motion of liquids in small channels—and states that the maximum...

of liquid water from the roots to the leaves is driven in part by capillary action, but primarily driven by water potential differences. If the water...

important leading to the formation of a meniscus through capillary action. This capillary action has profound consequences for biological systems as it...

Young–Laplace equation (/ləˈplɑːs/) is an algebraic equation that describes the capillary pressure difference sustained across the interface between two static...

The capillary fringe is the subsurface layer in which groundwater seeps up from a water table by capillary action to fill pores. Pores at the base of...
