Abstract
- The Lucas-Washburn equation is inadequate in predicting water intake at short contact times.
- The Lucas-Washburn equation inadequate for predicting intake as a function of temperature.
- The absorption rate increase with temperature is controlled by molecular processes.
- The adsorbed water on fiber surfaces lowers the solid-gas interfacial energy.
