General aspects of the dynamics of capillary rise are considered with references to extant theories. A stroboscopic method used to study the rise of a liquid in a capillary tube is discussed. Tables are presented showing the observed heights at various times during the rise for the liquids—water, ethyl alcohol, and glycol in each of three capillaries of different diameters.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
