Rate of Wetting of Standard Army Fabrics by bis(2-Ethylhexyl) Hydrogen Phosphite

Abstract

The rate at which a droplet of liquid bis(2-ethylhexyl) hydrogen phosphite wets standard Army fabrics has been measured. The ratio of the area wetted at time T to the area wetted at the time the droplet first contacts the fabric is proportional to T raised to a power more than 0. By comparison with data collected in an earlier study, it is shown that the rate at which vapor from the droplet is transported from the fabric to a second underlying layer is proportional to the area wetted by the liquid.
