Calculate Capillarity Height











Formula

The formula to calculate the Capillarity Height (hcapillarity) is:

\[ h_{capillarity} = \frac{2 \cdot \sigma \cdot \cos(\theta)}{\gamma \cdot (r_{outer} - r_{inner})} \]

Definition

Capillarity height is denoted by the symbol h. 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. Theta is the angle of contact between liquid and the boundary of capillary tube. Specific Weight is defined as weight per unit volume. It is the specific weight of the liquid for which the calculation is being done. Outer Radius Of Tube of any figure is the radius of a larger circle of the two concentric circles that form its boundary. Inner Radius Of Tube of any figure is the radius of its cavity and the smaller radius among two concentric circles.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ h_{capillarity} = \frac{2 \cdot 72.75 \cdot \cos(0.13962634015952)}{112 \cdot (7 - 5)} \approx 0.643232160722763 \]

The Capillarity Height is approximately 0.643232160722763 Meter.
