Zhmud et al. (2000) obtained the following data for the capillary rise of dodecane in a 200 μm diameter capillary tube. Compare these results to those predicted by the Lucas-Washburn equation, i.e., Equation 4.106. The physical properties for dodecane are as follows: viscosity = 1.7 × 10−3Pa s, surface tension = 2.5 × 10−2N m−1, and density = 750 kg m−3. What is the value of the contact angle that gives the best fit to these data using the Lucas-Washburn equation?
Equation 4.106
