Connected Reservoirs (IMAGE)
Caption
When large reservoirs are connected by very narrow and long channels, the liquid in each reservoir acts independently of the liquid in adjacent reservoirs. In the microworld, the physics is different: if the liquid filling the reservoirs complies with certain conditions (the most important of which is that the fluid is at coexistence between its two phases), even surprisingly small channels can correlate the state of the liquid in adjacent reservoirs.
