Capillary action (sometimes capillarity, capillary motion, capillary effect, or wicking) is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces without the assistance of, or even in opposition to, external forces like gravity. The effect can be seen in the drawing up of liquids in a thin tube. It occurs because of intermolecular forces between the liquid and surrounding solid surfaces. If the diameter of the tube is sufficiently small, then the combination of surface tension (which is caused by cohesion within the liquid) and adhesive forces between the liquid and container wall act to propel the liquid.
Since 1968, Aladdin Temp-Rite has provided innovative meal delivery solutions for hospitals, long-term care, and corrections. Aladdin’s first complete meal-delivery system product ‒ the insulated thermal tray ‒ was introduced. It revolutionized meal distribution for airlines, and then hospitals and other mass-feeding institutions which could, at last, keep hot foods hot and cold foods cold for long periods of time. In the years that have followed, Aladdin has introduced many patented products that have led healthcare foodservice to new heights of quality, safety, and patient satisfaction.
