Tutorial 01

The document discusses surface tension and capillarity. It provides 7 problems involving calculating things like: the pressure required to form bubbles of a given diameter; the surface tension given a soap bubble's pressure and diameter; the contact angle given the liquid height in a tube; and capillary depression, rise, radius of curvature, and additional forces given information about the liquid, tube dimensions, and surface tension. The problems cover concepts involving surface tension, contact angle, capillarity, and their relationships.

Surface tension and capillarity (Tutorial 1)

1. Air is introduced through a nozzle into a tank of water to form a stream of


bubbles.Ifthebubblesareintendedtohaveadiameterof2mm,calculatehow
much the pressure of the air at the tip of the nozzle must exceed that of the
surrounding water. Assume that the value of surface tension between air and
wateras72.7x103N/m.

7. A hollow cylinder of 150 mm OD with its weight equal to the buoyant forces is to
be kept floating vertically in a liquid with a surface tension of 0.45 N/m2 . The
contact angle is 60. Determine the additional force required due to surface
tension.
