A tube has a diameter of 0.87 mm and is placed vertically in a liquid of density 879 km/m^3, which rises 3.7 cm in the tube. The contact angle is 17 degrees between the liquid and tub. What is the surface tension of the liquid?
Solutions
Expert Solution
The relationship between surface tension
and capillary rise is given by the equation,
T=rhρg/2cosθ
Where,
T = surface tension of the liquid
r= radius of the capillary tube
ρ= density of the given liquid
g = Acceleration due to gravity
θ = angle of contact between the tube and the liquid.
h= height of the capillary rise.
By direct substituting the given values, we get
T= 0.0723 N/m

A thin-walled tube with a diameter of 6 mm and length of 20 m is
used to carry exhaust gas from a smoke stack to the laboratory in a
nearby building for analysis. The gas enters the tube at 200°C and
with a mass flow rate of 0.001 kg/s. Autumn winds at a temperature
of 15°C blow directly across the tube at a velocity of 7 m/s.
Assume the thermophysical properties of the exhaust gas are those
of air.
