Q1

Determine the minimum size of glass tubing that can be used to measure water level, if the capillary rise in the tube is not to exceed 0.3 mm. Take surface tension of water in contact  with air as 0.0735 N/m. A U-tube is made up of two capillaries of bores 1.2 m and 2.4 mm respectively.

 

 

 

Q2) The tube is held vertical and partially filled liquid of surface tension 0.06 N/m and zero contact angle. If the estimated difference in the level of two menisci is 15 mm, determine the density the liquid.

 

 

Q10) In measuring the unit energy of a mineral oil (specific gravity = 0.85) by the bubble method, a tube having an internal diameter of 1.5 mm is immersed to depth of 12.5 mm in oil. Air is forced through the tube forming a bubble at the lower end. What magnitude of the unit surface energy will be indicated by a maximum bubble pressure intensity of 150 N/m.
