Pressure situation
Pressure situation
(OP)
Here's the situation:
a block of cheese has steel tubes injected through it
in the following pattern
-------------
| o o o |
| o o |
| o o o |
| |
|------------|
This block is then subjected to a pressure of 40psi equally
on all sides.
After several hours and the block is removed from the pressure, oil deposits are noticed at the cheese/pipe interfaces. These oil deposits are later analyzed and
found to have come from the cheese.
What principle(s) explain why the liquid has developed only at the cheese/pipe interface?
Your help/ideas are appreciated.

I work for a major dairy manufacturer, and in one of our products mechanical holes are needed to be made for uniformity purposes.
I was asking this question for my own knowledge and reasoning.....though it may sound silly to some.
