Liquid drop in a cone - line tension effects
  The shape of a liquid drop placed in a cone is analyzed macroscopically. Depending on the values of the cone opening angle, the Young angle and the line tension four different interfacial configurations may be realized. The phase diagram in these variables is constructed and discussed; it contains both the first- and the second-order transition lines. In particular, the tricritical point is found and the value of the critical exponent characterizing the behaviour of the system along the line of the first-order transitions in the neighbourhood of this point is determined.
