Suction force

In fact, an unsaturated soil has no pressure potential, only a matrix potential (expressible as a negative pressure). The negative pressure causes water to move toward the soil with a higher suction potential, in contrast to the saturated flow where water moves from a high pressure potential to a low pressure potential. For soils with the same properties but with different saturation, the less saturated soil has more excessive suction force, causing water to move towards it. 

If we consider the water transport between two points, water movement would increase when suction increases and moisture decreases. That is, water tends to move from higher moisture to lower moisture points, because the point with lower moisture has a higher suction force. 

When first starting the filtration process, the vacuum will suck some of the product into the flask. The contents of the flask should then be re-filtered to ensure no product loss. The suction force is generated by a vacuum pump, which is commercially available in many styles and sizes hand driven pumps can be used as well. Note The suction force should not be too great. Placing your hand completely over the funnel until the suction grips your hand moderately indicates the proper suction. Never underestimate the power of a vacuum. 

The force that optical tweezers can exert is modest, namely, several tens of piconewtons. Much larger forces (hundreds of piconewtons) can be exerted using a micropipette, which, as the name implies, generates a suction force through a pipette tip that is only a few microns in diameter (Evans et al. 1995, 1996 Smith et al. 1996). Yet another micromanipulation method uses atomic force microscopy (AFM), in which a sharp tip mounted on the end of... 

The plasma membranes of growing plant cells select to incorporate sugars, amino adds, ions and other low molecular weight compounds from the apoplastic space, and then, the cells have a certain level of osmotic pressure. The difference between their osmotic pressure and their wall pressure (=turgor pressure) is due to motive power (suction force) to suck water from the apoplastic space (Figure 1). The plant hormone auxin, which decreases the wall pressure in a growing plant cell, therefore induces cell elongation or expansion.

In order to stimulate condensate motion under zero-G conditions, other forces must replace the gravitational force. This may be done by centrifugal forces, vapor shear forces, surface tension forces, suction forces, and forces created by an electric field. McEver and Hwangbo [133] and Valenzuela et al. [134] describe how surface tension forces may be used to drain a condenser surface in space. Tanasawa [1] reviews electrohydrodynamics (EHD) enhancement of condensation. Bologa et al. [135] showed experimentally that an electric field deforms the liquid-vapor interface, creating local capillary forces that enhance the heat transfer. 

An adequate Mo supply has been shown to decrease the transpiration rate in pea leaves (Zaslonkin, 1968). This effect may be related to the low content of free water in Mo-sufficient plant cells, which may lower the suction force and osmotic pressure of cellular fluid. 

The parameters utilized for this approach are from Breck [57] for the gases He, H2, CO2, O2, N2 and CH4, Poling [58] for the gases CO, Ar, C2Huniversal force field (UFF) values [59] are used for the surface atoms, as summarized in Table 5.2. This potential difference has been termed the suction energy since a positive W translates to a suction force of the molecule from the outside to the inside of the pore, while a negative W translates to a repulsive force directing the molecule away from the pore [23]. From this, a new transport mechanism is proposed in [23] as suction diffusion , where enhanced velocities are predicted as the gas molecules are sucked into the pore. 

Early stability analyses employed the classical Kelvin-Helmholtz (K-H) theory for two inviscid layers (Kordyban and Ranov [33], Kordyban [34], Wallis and Dobson [35]). However, in referring to gas-liquid flows, pyp C 1, and assuming that the interfacial disturbance velocity equals the (slower) liquid layer velocity, the liquid destabilizing contribution has been degenerated. This results in a rather simple Bernoulli-type transitional criteria, whereby the suction forces in the gas-...

As demonstrated in this case, the tension of the iliopsoas and restrictions found at the sacroiliac articulations may impede descent of the fetal head. Prolongation of this stage may very well result in maternal fatigue and the inability to deliver the child by usual means. If normal vaginal delivery is unfeasible, assistance with instrumentation, such as forceps or a vacuum extractor, may be attempted. The indications for vacuum assisted delivery include maternal exhaustion and inadequate expulsive efforts. Suction forces used with vacuum extraction range from 12 to 18 pounds per square inch. Further, vacuum extraction carries a risk of complication three times greater than normal vaginal delivery.
