  2. Capillary pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_pressure

    In fluid statics, capillary pressure is the pressure between two immiscible fluids in a thin tube (see capillary action), resulting from the interactions of forces between the fluids and solid walls of the tube. Capillary pressure can serve as both an opposing or driving force for fluid transport and is a significant property for research and ...

    2. Jason Statham (/ ˈsteɪθəm / STAY-thəm; born 26 July 1967) is an English actor. He is known for portraying characters in various action-thriller films who are typically tough, gritty, or violent. Statham has been credited for leading the resurgence of action films during the 2000s and 2010s. [ 1 ]

  4. Capillary action - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary_action

    Capillary action of water (polar) compared to mercury (non-polar), in each case with respect to a polar surface such as glass (≡Si–OH). Capillary action (sometimes called capillarity, capillary motion, capillary rise, capillary effect, or wicking) is the process of a liquid flowing in a narrow space in opposition to or at least without the assistance of any external forces like gravity.

  5. Soil mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soil_mechanics

    Above the height of capillary saturation, the soil may be wet but the water content will decrease with elevation. If the water in the capillary zone is not moving, the water pressure obeys the equation of hydrostatic equilibrium, =, but note that , is negative above the water table. Hence, hydrostatic water pressures are negative above the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capillary

    3901. TH. H3.09.02.0.02001. FMA. 63194. Anatomical terminology. [edit on Wikidata] A capillary is a small blood vessel, from 5 to 10 micrometres in diameter, and is part of the microcirculation system. Capillaries are microvessels and the smallest blood vessels in the body.

    Wrath of Man is a 2021 action thriller film [4] directed by Guy Ritchie, who co-wrote with Ivan Atkinson and Marn Davies. It is loosely based on the 2004 French film Cash Truck. [5] It is Ritchie's fourth directorial collaboration with lead actor Jason Statham, and the first since Revolver (2005).

  8. Starling equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starling_equation

    Starling equation. The Starling principle holds that extracellular fluid movements between blood and tissues are determined by differences in hydrostatic pressure and colloid osmotic pressure (oncotic pressure) between plasma inside microvessels and interstitial fluid outside them. The Starling equation, proposed many years after the death of ...

  9. Pleural effusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleural_effusion

    A pleural effusion is accumulation of excessive fluid in the pleural space, the potential space that surrounds each lung.Under normal conditions, pleural fluid is secreted by the parietal pleural capillaries at a rate of 0.6 millilitre per kilogram weight per hour, and is cleared by lymphatic absorption leaving behind only 5–15 millilitres of fluid, which helps to maintain a functional ...
