Wetting and Penetration Behavior of Resin/Wood Interfaces
… within each individual tracheid. The Lucas-Washburn equation analyzed the wetting and penetration by calculating the penetration and comparing it to the measured penetration. Wetting of four resins was compared on 3 species, to improve the understanding of adhesive wetting behavior. This …

Characterization of fluid flow in paper-based microfluidic devices
… also observed. Two common modelling methods, the Washburn equation and Darcy’s law, were evaluated to determine the most appropriate method for predicting flow behaviour in paper. A mathematical model was developed along with an empirically determined expression for permeability.

The physical properties, water sensitivity and long term durability performance of vegetal concrete
… weathering. Finally, the suitability of the Washburn equation was determined for predicting the capillary rise of water in vegetal concretes.<br/>The study concludes that the use of rapeseed aggregate in vegetal concrete gave promising results, and when compared to hemp responded well in both …

Programming of wicking behavior of hydrogel and paper-based microfluidic device
… circuit analogies derived from Darcy’s law and Washburn equation are used to model the fluidic behavior of μPADs. The computational model depicts flow behavior in two connected different wicking materials, paper and hydrogel, and will be a useful tool to optimize the design process and reduce …

Investigation of immobilized liquid membranes for gas and vapor separations based on asymmetric inorganic supports and non-volatile liquids
… by means of an approach based on the so-called Washburn Equation for description of capillary imbibition kinetics. Two different support types (hydrophobic and hydrophilic with two different pore diameters of the active layer each) with two liquids (Ionic liquid [BMIM][Tf2N] and a silicone oil …
