Height of Capillary Rise Formula Elements

Variables
Functions
Capillarity Height
Capillarity height is denoted by the symbol h.
Symbol: hcapillarity
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Surface Tension
Surface Tension is a word that is linked to the liquid surface. It is a physical property of liquids, in which the molecules are drawn onto every side.
Symbol: σ
Measurement: Surface TensionUnit: N/m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Theta
Theta is the angle of contact between liquid and the boundary of capillary tube.
Symbol: θ
Measurement: AngleUnit: °
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Specific Weight
Specific Weight is defined as weight per unit volume. It is the specific weight of the liquid for which the calculation is being done.
Symbol: γ
Measurement: Specific WeightUnit: N/m³
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Diameter of Tube
Diameter of tube is defined as the OUTSIDE DIAMETER (O.D.), specified in inches (e.g., 1.250) or fraction of an inch (eg. 1-1/4″).
Symbol: d
Measurement: LengthUnit: mm
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
cos
Cosine of an angle is the ratio of the side adjacent to the angle to the hypotenuse of the triangle.
Syntax: cos(Angle)
