water and waste will move in capillary . water and waste will move in capillary .
The capillary fringe
Cellulose, and Meniscus
In the body, capillary tubes are in fact microscopic. However, the capillary effect can be viewed on a much larger scale. If one was to place a straw in a glass of water, one would see that the water level in the straw is higher than that of the glass of water, this is because the molecules of water are attracted to the wall of the straw, and each other.
The narrower the bore of the tube ,the greater is the capillary action. For example :A sponge retains water (on being dipped in water)is due to capillary action.
If a pitcher of water is tilted too far, the water will spill out of the container.
The soil is at "field capacity". In other words the capillary spaces are already full of water to the surface, hence no more water can be absorbed.
Capillary action will pull water up the stem to the flower and into the petals.
Water uses capillary action to "climb" up plant vessels through cohesion and adhesion, which allows the water to be transported throughout the plant.
The adhesive force of wetting liquids specially water is responsible for capillary action, the capillary action is not possible for Mercury.
Capillary action is not sufficient to lift water against gravity after certain height .
The things that happens to the energy level of solid as it become liquid water is that the liquid has more energy than solid do. Simple as that! BY: ANONYMOUS :)
