Calculate Capillarity Height









Formula

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

\[ h_{\text{capillarity}} = \frac{2 \sigma \cos(\theta)}{\gamma t} \]

Definition

Capillarity height is denoted by the symbol h.

Surface Tension 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 the 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.

Uniform Gap between Vertical Plates is the uniform gap between the two vertical plates that are partially immersed in a fluid.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ h_{\text{capillarity}} = \frac{2 \times 72.75 \times \cos(0.13962634015952)}{112 \times 0.016} \approx 80.4040200903454 \]

The Capillarity Height is approximately 80.4040200903454 m.
