Possible Setup:
U-Shaped Tube – Acts as a siphon or drain tube, often used to transfer liquids from one container to another using gravity or pressure differences.
Draining into a Bottle – The liquid flows through the U-tube and collects in a bottle, either for storage, measurement, or disposal.
Common Applications:
Condenser in Distillation – In chemistry labs, a U-shaped tube (like a Liebig condenser) may drain condensed liquid into a receiving flask.
Siphon Mechanism – Used to transfer liquids between containers without pouring.
Water Trap – In vacuum systems, a U-tube filled with liquid can prevent backflow.
Drainage in Medical/Industrial Systems – Such as a chest drainage system or fluid collection setup.
How It Works:
Gravity-Driven Flow – If the U-tube is higher on one side, liquid will naturally drain to the lower side (into the bottle).
Pressure Difference – If connected to a vacuum or pressure system, the liquid may be pulled or pushed into the bottle.
Capillary Action – In some cases, surface tension helps move the liquid.
