Diameter of Tube - (Measured in Meter) - The Diameter of Tube is the diameter of capillary tube which is introduced in the liquid.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Surface Tension: 72.75 Newton per Meter --> 72.75 Newton per Meter No Conversion Required
Angle of Contact between Liquid and Capillary Tube: 15 Degree --> 0.2617993877991 Radian (Check conversion here)
Density: 997.3 Kilogram per Cubic Meter --> 997.3 Kilogram per Cubic Meter No Conversion Required
Diameter of Tube: 0.002 Meter --> 0.002 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h_c = 4*σ*cos(θ)/(ρ*[g]*d) --> 4*72.75*cos(0.2617993877991)/(997.3*[g]*0.002)

Evaluating ... ...

What is capillary action?

Capillary action (sometimes capillarity, capillary motion, capillary effect, or wicking) is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity.

How to Calculate Height of Capillary Rise or Fall?

Height of Capillary Rise or Fall calculator uses Height of Capillary Rise/Fall = 4*Surface Tension*cos(Angle of Contact between Liquid and Capillary Tube)/(Density*[g]*Diameter of Tube) to calculate the Height of Capillary Rise/Fall, Height of Capillary Rise or Fall is, when a capillary tube is inserted into a liquid, the liquid will rise or fall in the tube, due to an imbalance in pressure. The characteristic height is the distance from the bottom of the meniscus to the base, and exists when the Laplace pressure and the pressure due to gravity are balanced. Height of Capillary Rise/Fall is denoted by h_c symbol.

How to calculate Height of Capillary Rise or Fall using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Height of Capillary Rise or Fall, enter Surface Tension (σ), Angle of Contact between Liquid and Capillary Tube (θ), Density (ρ) & Diameter of Tube (d) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Height of Capillary Rise or Fall calculation can be explained with given input values -> 14.37012 = 4*72.75*cos(0.2617993877991)/(997.3*[g]*0.002).

FAQ

What is Height of Capillary Rise or Fall?

Height of Capillary Rise or Fall is, when a capillary tube is inserted into a liquid, the liquid will rise or fall in the tube, due to an imbalance in pressure. The characteristic height is the distance from the bottom of the meniscus to the base, and exists when the Laplace pressure and the pressure due to gravity are balanced and is represented as h_c = 4*σ*cos(θ)/(ρ*[g]*d) or Height of Capillary Rise/Fall = 4*Surface Tension*cos(Angle of Contact between Liquid and Capillary Tube)/(Density*[g]*Diameter of Tube). Surface tension is a word that is linked to the liquid surface. It is a physical property of liquids, in which the molecules are drawn onto every side, The Angle of Contact between Liquid and Capillary Tube is the angle given in radians between the liquid level in a capillary tube and the surface of the capillary tube, Density of a material shows the denseness of that material in a specific given area. This is taken as mass per unit volume of a given object & The Diameter of Tube is the diameter of capillary tube which is introduced in the liquid.
