menisk
Usage examples
  • Nõgus menisk tekib siis, kui vedeliku osakeste ja anuma vaheline tõmme on üle poole vedeliku osakeste üksteise külgetõmbest, põhjustades vedeliku ronimist anuma seintele, mis toimub tavaliselt vee ja klaasi vahel. Veepõhistel vedelikel, nagu mahl, mesi ja piim, on ka nõgus menisk klaasist või muude märguvate mahutite seina vahel.
meniscus
Usage examples
  • A concave meniscus occurs when the attraction between the particles of the liquid and the container is more than half the attraction of the particles of the liquid to each other, causing the liquid to climb the walls of the container. This occurs between water and glass.
