Force balance minimum wetting

A balance is made between the dynamic force arising from the change of direction of the liquid film and the surface tension force causing the dry patch to grow. When the dynamic force is greater than the surface tension force, then the dry patch will disappear. This allows the calculation of minimum wetting rate if the contact angle (see Fig. 15.145) is known. [Pg.1131]
