English - English
The ability of a narrow interstice to draw a liquid due to surface tension upwards against the force of gravity
The siphoning of liquid into a joint or void between two adjacent surfaces
The process by which the surface of a liquid in a very narrow tube rises against the pull of gravity
The rise of water along narrow passages, facilitated and caused by surface tension
elevation of the surface of liquids due to surface tension and the forces of adhesion and cohesion
Upward movement of water through very small spaces due to molecular forces and surface tension, called capillary forces
The effect of surface tension that draws a liquid into a small opening
Movement of water through very small spaces due to molecular forces called capillary forces
That action which causes movement of liquids when in contact with two adjacent surfaces such as panel side laps
a phenomenon associated with surface tension and resulting in the elevation or depression of liquids in capillaries
Due to the distance between plates on size of the hole capillary action occurs In soil capillary action raises water as much as 20' to the roots of plants In clay soil capillaries freeze and form ice cubes in winter
The tendency of certain liquids to travel, climb or draw into tight crack-like interface areas due to such properties as surface tension, wetting, cohesion, adhesion and viscosity
the process by which water rises through rock, sediment or soil as it is "pulled" upward by the attraction of water molecules to each other and to other substances
Movement of water along microscopic channels This movement is the result of two forces: the adhesion and absorption of water to the walls of the channels; and cohesion of water molecules to each other
The phenomenon of liquid rising in a small interstice due to surface tension
Particles attract soil moisture and surface tension is strong enough to cause moisture to rise up through the soil, above the water table
The effect of surface tension that draws a liquid into a small opening So a combination of natural causes that forces molten solder to flow against gravity between closely spaced solid surfaces
Movement of water through very small spaces due to molecular forces called capillary forces Source: US EPA
the movement of a liquid with or against the law of gravity, into a very small opening, usually tubular in shape, or as in a surface of closely matted very fine fibers (Liquid penetration and flow rate in porous surfaces is dependent on pressure, surface tension, and radius of the opening, among other factors)
Interaction between a liquid and a small diameter opening in a solid, whereby liquid is drawn into the opening by surface tension
A foreign object lodged in the trap causes loss of trap seal The object acts as a wick and carries the water from the trap over the outlet side into the waste pipe until the seal is ineffective Rags, string, lint, and hair commonly cause this problem
A function of hydrogen bonding in the water molecule results in the movement of water into small openings due to the attraction between the liquid and the walls of the opening Water can be drawn upwards by capillary action
Movement of water induced by force of molecular attraction (surface tension) between the water and the material in which it contacts
the drawing of a substance along an adherent surface, like water along a glass tube, despite the force of gravity
(1) The action by which water is drawn around soil particles because there is a stronger attraction between the soil particles and the water molecules themselves (2) The movement of water within the interstices of a porous medium due to the forces of adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension acting in a liquid that is in contact with a solid Synonymous with the terms Capillarity, Capillary Flow, and Capillary Migration
the force that makes a liquid rise up a narrow tube
when the surface of a liquid is in conact with a solid, the liquid is elevated or depressed depending upon the relative attraction of the molecules of the liquid for each other or for those of the solid This is similar to how plants seemingly defy gravity when they transport liquid from the roots upward through the plant
the spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube
The combination of solid-liquid adhesion and surface tension by which a liquid is elevated in a vertical tube or moves through a cellular structure
the spontaneous rising of a liquid in a narrow tube (16 2)
