Tears of wine

A familiar (and biblical [SO]) example is the formation of tears of wine in a glass. Here, the evaporation of the alcohol from the meniscus leads to a local raising of the surface tension, which, in turn, induces a surface and accompanying bulk flow upward. 

Tears-of-Wine The surface motion of mixed liquids was described in ancient times [29], and scientifically in a paper by James Thompson, the brother of Lord Kelvin [30] in 1855. Recently Neogi [31], and Cazabat [32] reported on the formation of ordered stmctures in evaporating solutions of two liquids. The meniscus of wine in a glass is drawn upward on the glass surface and forms a thin film. Due to its...

Often a typical shape of wine on the rim of a wine glass is observed, called tears of wine [51,52], To understand this phenomenon we take wine as a mixture of water and ethanol. A wine drop is thicker at the bottom than at the top because of its weight (Fig. 3.8). Part of the liquid evaporates. Due to its lower vapor pressure ethanol evaporates faster than water. The rate of evaporation is roughly proportional to the surface area. Since the drop is thinner at the...

Tt is the Shewbread, which number twelve (one for each tribe) which remains six day upon the Table of Witness, crowned with tears of frankincense, in order to be impregnated in the Tabernacle of the Covenant by the Shekin ih (the divine presence , the pneuma hagion). On the seventh day, the Sabbath, the priests consume them ritualistically, together with the offering, the benediction and the imbibing of the cup of wine. 

Estimate the interfacial tension gradient formed in alcohol-water mixtures as a function of alcohol content. Determine the minimum alcohol content necessary to form wine tears on a vertical glass wall [174] (experimental veriflcation is possible). 

So when we were married, we did no more than drink wine and eat sweet cakes, there in the antechamber of the chapel my mother, Margaret—told only that morning lest she chatter—a priest sworn to silence, a boy server brought to cense and sing and, in the corner, Mai, with tears in her eyes. 

Are you ready for the answer Here is the list of terms sorted in order of beauty as determined by my little survey of scientists and colleagues. The numbers in parentheses indicate the number of times the term was an individual s first choice dancing flames (31), snow crystal (20), mist-covered swamp (17), spiral nautilus shell (10), mossy cavern (5), kaleidoscope image (5), avalanche (4), computer chip (3), seagull s cry (3), tears on a little girl (3), trilobite fossil (2), glimmer of mercury (2), wine (2), asphalt (1). 

The user under the influence of a psychedelic can function normally and can also alter the experience. This should be fully grasped before taking this type of drug. Once into a session, the user should take time out and practice "reversing sensations. Water may taste like wine just by thinking it a light object can be made to feel heavy or another s glistening tears can be turned into a dry-eyed expression of joy. When sufficiently skilled, the user will be able to "select hallucinations at wilL...
