kapillaarse
Kapillaarse refers to phenomena related to capillaries, which are very narrow tubes or channels. In physics and fluid mechanics, capillary action, or capillarity, describes the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity. This occurs due to intermolecular forces between the liquid and the surrounding solid surfaces.
The key forces involved are adhesion and cohesion. Adhesion is the attraction between molecules of different
The height to which a liquid rises in a capillary tube is inversely proportional to the radius
