Solving the Young-Laplace equation for arbitrary axisymmetric geometry
Say I have a non-ellipsoidal soap bubble and I want to numerically analyse the pressure in the inner lobe of this bubble here:
The Young Laplace equation gives the pressure difference across a ...

Water evaporation
It is known that molecules at the surface are strongly attached to each other (more attraction less repulsion) than those within the bulk attraction and repulsion are balanced). This is the molecular ...
