Capillary Rise of Ground Moisture: Moisture travels upward by capillary action --as much as 14 to 18 gallons per day have been noted under a 1,000 square-foot house-- and evaporates within the crawl space. Capillary rise occurs in nearly all areas where the soil is clay or silt. Capillary action is the effect of surface tension that causes water to rise up a narrow tube, against the effect of gravity. In building construction, capillary action can occur between two surfaces placed together, or within porous materials. This relates to the installation of wood flooring in that moisture can be drawn through both the subfloor and the concrete below it. 4, record 2, English, - capillary%20rise%20of%20soil%20moisture

For historical and practical reasons, however, plant physiologists have developed another parameter called the water potential (psiw). Water potential is expressed in pressure units such as megapascals (MPa). ... Like chemical potential, water potential is a relative quantity, and is always determined as a difference between the sample in question and a standard reference. For plant physiologists, the standard reference for water potential measurements is the water potential of pure water at one atmosphere of pressure. This reference value is defined as 0 MegaPascals. 2, record 4, English, - water%20potential

Le tensiomètre permet de mesurer la charge hydraulique du sol y. Il est constitué d’une bougie en céramique poreuse fixée à l'extrémité d’un tube, enfoncé dans le sol à la profondeur souhaitée. Le tube ainsi que la bougie sont remplis d’eau dégazée et l'ensemble est hermétiquement fermé par un bouchon et relié par un capillaire à un manomètre de mercure. Le système ainsi mis en place autorise des échanges osmotiques à travers la paroi poreuse. Une certaine quantité d’eau sort du tensiomètre jusqu'à ce que la dépression équilibrée par la colonne de mercure soit égale au potentiel de l'eau dans le sol. Si l'humidité du sol vient à baisser, l'eau diffuse à travers la bougie poreuse vers le milieu environnant : il se produit une dépression à l'intérieur du système mise en évidence par le manomètre. De même, lorsque le sol s’humidifie, la tension baisse. Lorsqu'il est saturé, elle est nulle. [...] Les tensiomètres sont des appareils simples, précis et très utilisés mais la gamme de potentiels qu'ils permettent de mesurer est limitée(ils ne fonctionnent plus à y > 0. 09MPa).

Forces capillaires. À l'interface entre deux phases, il existe une tension superficielle liée à la nature des deux substances en contact, qui traduit l'écart entre les forces d’attraction des molécules avec celles qui sont à l'intérieur de leur phase et celles qui sont à l'extérieur. L'eau est «mouillante» avec la plupart des solides c'est-à-dire que l'angle de raccordement de l'interface air-eau avec les solides est aigu. De part et d’autres de l'interface air-eau la pression est différente. L'écart, la pression capillaire, est d’autant plus élevé que le rayon de courbure est plus court. L'air est à la pression atmosphérique(phase continue). L'eau peut ainsi se retrouver à une pression négative(c'est la succion capillaire) : ceci explique l'existence d’un profil d’humidité au-dessus de la ligne de saturation d’un aquifère. 3, record 16, French, - tension%20capillaire

The products being used today in subsurface drip irrigation come in three basic configurations: hard hose, drip tape, and porous tubing. ... Porous pipe products emit water all along the length of the tubing. There are literally thousands of places per meter where water weeps out of the tubing. This design has shown resistance to plugging by roots. The disadvantage is its flow path is by far the smallest of the three configurations. This increases the likelihood of plugging by fine particles. It typically has the largest coefficient of manufacturing variability of the three configurations, which can be a major detriment because it prevents high distribution uniformities and high efficiencies. 5, record 19, English, - porous%20tube

Le goutte à goutte [...] permet de distribuer l'eau directement au pied des plantes, sans mouiller la partie supérieur(feuilles, fleurs, fruits). Il existe quatre techniques de goutte à goutte : le goutte à goutte mono fil : on ne pose qu'un seul goutteur ou un seul capillaire par plante ou par pot. Le goutte à goutte multitête : il s’agit d’une tête de distribution comportant 6, 8 ou 12 sorties. L'utilisation d’une gaine, un tube perforé tous les 30, 40 ou 50 cm. Les tubes poreux.

Detection of radioactive substances separated by chromatographic means has always been possible by standard counting devices with thin-layer chromatography and with extruded columns. Small scintillators are placed in contact with the column effluent, as radiation is emitted by the solutes these are detected by the scintillators and the light pulses from the scintillators are detected by a photomultiplier, amplified and recorded. 2, record 21, English, - radioactive%20detector

Détecteurs de radioactivité. Le principe de ces détecteurs est le suivant : à la sortie de la colonne de chromatographie on adapte un diviseur d’effluents ayant un rapport de division de 90/10 par exemple; 10 % des effluents sont envoyés au détecteur afin d’enregistrer leur sortie et de les repérer : 90 % des effluents sont envoyés par un tube capillaire chauffé dans une chambre à combustion. Cette chambre à combustion se compose d’un tube en quartz d’environ 4 à 6 cm de diamètre interne rempli d’oxyde de cuivre sous forme de paillettes et ce tube est placé à l'intérieur d’un four électrique chauffant. Ce four est porté à 850 °C et les molécules qui arrivent au contact de cet oxyde de cuivre sont décomposées [...] Si l'on veut doser du carbone 14, l'eau est piégée sur un support tel que le silicagel. Seul le CO2 marqué parvient à une chambre de comptage proportionnel. Cette chambre est composée d’une enceinte parfaitement propre traversée en son centre par un filament de tungstène porté à une tension de 1 500 volts en courant continu. Les ions libérés sous l'effet de la radioactivité sont collectés sur la paroi interne de la chambre de comptage et le signal ainsi obtenu est envoyé après intégration à un enregistreur. 3, record 21, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20de%20radioactivit%C3%A9
