Thickness of Plate - (Measured in Millimeter) - Thickness of Plate is defined as the thickness of plate (usually the lowest dimension of the plate) under consideration.
Surface Tension of Fluid - (Measured in Newton per Meter) - Surface Tension of Fluid is the energy or work required to increase the surface area of a fluid due to intermolecular forces.
Contact Angle - (Measured in Radian) - The Contact Angle is an angle that a liquid creates with a solid surface or capillary walls of a porous material when both materials come in contact together.
Density of Fluid - (Measured in Kilogram per Cubic Meter) - Density of Fluid is defined as the mass of fluid per unit volume of the said fluid.
Depth of Plate - (Measured in Millimeter) - Depth of Plate is a dimension taken through the surface of the plate, usually downward from an upper surface, horizontally inward from an outer surface.
