BES131 Assignment 4

This document provides instructions for 5 problems related to surface tension and capillarity. Students are asked to calculate the excess pressure inside air bubbles and water droplets of given diameters using surface tension values. They are also asked to determine capillary rise and depression in tubes based on tube diameter, fluid properties, and measured heights. Answers must be provided to two decimal places.

Fluid Mechanics

Assignment 4
Surface Tension & Capillary

Instruction: Answers with decimals must be corrected to two decimal places.


1. By how much does the pressure inside a 2-mm-diameter air bubble in 15℃ water exceed the pressure in
𝑁
the surrounding water? Surface tension of water at 15℃ is 𝜎 = 0.0735 𝑚.

2. An atomizer forms water droplets 45𝜇𝑚 in diameter. Find the excess pressure within these droplets for
water at 30℃ (refer to Table 1 for the surface tension).

3. Find the angle the surface tension film leaves the glass for a vertical tube immersed in water if the diameter
𝑁
is 0.25 in and the capillary rise is 0.08 in. Use 𝜎 = 0.005 𝑚 𝑙𝑏/𝑓𝑡.

4. Distilled water at 10℃ stands in a glass tube of 9.0-mm-diameter at a height of 24.0 mm. What is the true
static height?

5. What capillary depression of mercury (𝜃 = 140°) may be expected in a 0.08-in-diameter tube at 68℉?
