kapillaarisesta
Kapillaarinen, also known as capillary action, is a phenomenon in which a liquid spontaneously rises in a narrow tube or porous material, such as a plant stem or a piece of paper, against the force of gravity. This process is driven by the cohesive forces between liquid molecules and the adhesive forces between the liquid and the tube or material.
The height to which a liquid rises in a capillary tube is determined by the balance between
Capillary action is crucial in various natural and industrial processes. In plants, it plays a vital role
The phenomenon of capillary action was first described by the Italian physicist Evangelista Torricelli in the
