Contact angle

Input(s)

σso\sigma_{s o}: Interfacial Tension between the solid and oil (dyn/cm)(\mathrm{dyn} / \mathrm{cm})

σsw\sigma_{s w}: Interfacial Tension between the solid and water (dyn/cm)(\mathrm{dyn} / \mathrm{cm})

σwo\sigma_{w o}: Interfacial Tension between the water and oil (dyn/cm)(\mathrm{dyn} / \mathrm{cm})

Output(s)

θ\theta: Contact Angle (degree)

Formula(s)

cosθ=σsoσswσwo\cos \theta=\frac{\sigma_{\mathrm{so}}-\sigma_{\mathrm{sw}}}{\sigma_{\mathrm{wo}}}
