Fig. 3: The Young–Laplace model of the estimated leakage pressures for the liquid bridge.

From: Leakage pressures for gasketless superhydrophobic fluid interconnects for modular lab-on-a-chip systems

Fig. 3

a Variation of the leakage pressure as a function of the surface contact angle and surface tension of the fluid passing through the interconnect. b Change in the leakage pressure as a function of the through-hole diameter and fluid surface tension. The leakage pressure is essentially constant for larger diameters.
