  2. Test tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_tube

    A chemistry test tube typically has a flat bottom, a round bottom, or a conical bottom. Some test tubes are made to accept a ground glass stopper or a screw cap . They are often provided with a small ground glass or white glaze area near the top for labelling with a pencil.

  3. Water tunnel (hydrodynamic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_tunnel_(hydrodynamic)

    A water tunnel is an experimental facility used for testing the hydrodynamic behavior of submerged bodies in flowing water. It functions similar to a recirculating wind tunnel , but uses water as the working fluid, and related phenomena are investigated, such as measuring the forces on scale models of submarines or lift and drag on hydrofoils .

  4. Jurin's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurin's_Law

    Capillary rise or fall in a tube. Jurin's law, or capillary rise, is the simplest analysis of capillary action—the induced motion of liquids in small channels [1] —and states that the maximum height of a liquid in a capillary tube is inversely proportional to the tube's diameter.

  5. Capillary pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_pressure

    The Porous Plate Method is an accurate way to understand capillary pressure relationships in fluid-air systems. In this process, a sample saturated with water is placed on a flat plate, also saturated with water, inside a gas chamber. Gas is injected at increasing pressures, thus displacing the water through the plate.

  6. Pipe (fluid conveyance) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pipe_(fluid_conveyance)

    Aluminum pipe or tubing may be utilized where iron is incompatible with the service fluid or where weight is a concern; aluminum is also used for heat transfer tubing such as in refrigerant systems. Copper tubing is popular for domestic water (potable) plumbing systems; copper may be used where heat transfer is desirable (i.e. radiators or heat ...

  7. Glass tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glass_tube

    Many glass tubing can be used right away for example for pneumatic conveying systems, lighting, photobioreactors or as an architectural item. However, modifying of glass tubing is quite common and indespendsable for applications like laboratory glass, pharma packaging, [4] and diode encapsulants. Here, the glass tubing needs to be e.g. cut ...

  8. Permeation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permeation

    In physics and engineering, permeation (also called imbuing) is the penetration of a permeate (a fluid such as a liquid, gas, or vapor) through a solid.It is directly related to the concentration gradient of the permeate, a material's intrinsic permeability, and the materials' mass diffusivity. [1]

  9. Water thread experiment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_thread_experiment

    The water thread experiment is a phenomenon that occurs when two containers of deionized water, placed on an insulator, are connected by a thread, then a high-voltage positive electric charge is applied to one container, and a negative charge to the other. At a critical voltage, an unsupported water liquid bridge is formed between the ...
