Thermodynamics and hydrodynamics of spontaneous and forced imbibition in conical capillaries: A theoretical study of conical liquid diode

Thermodynamics and hydrodynamics of spontaneous and forced imbibition of liquid into conical capillaries are studied to assess the feasibility of a conical liquid diode. The analytical formulas for the Laplace pressure and the critical Young's contact angle of the capillary for the onset of spo...
