Nayar et al. correlated the data with the following equation = (+ +) where γ sw is the surface tension of seawater in mN/m, γ w is the surface tension of water in mN/m, S is the reference salinity [40] in g/kg, and t is temperature in degrees Celsius. The average absolute percentage deviation between measurements and the correlation was 0.19% ...
In the following table, material data are given with a pressure of 611.7 Pa (equivalent to 0.006117 bar). Up to a temperature of 0.01 °C, the triple point of water, water normally exists as ice, except for supercooled water, for which one data point is tabulated here. At the triple point, ice can exist together with both liquid water and vapor.
Surface tension prevents the clip from submerging and the water from overflowing the glass edges. Temperature dependence of the surface tension of pure water. Water has an unusually high surface tension of 71.99 mN/m at 25 °C [64] which is caused by the strength of the hydrogen bonding between water molecules. [65] This allows insects to walk ...
The data of the liquids given from the table above is then graphed on the Zisman Plot (Figure 2) with the independent variable as the surface tension of the liquid in dynes/cm and the dependent variable as 1-cos(θ SL). There also are different variations of the Zisman plot since the Y-axis is unitless as seen in Table 1 and as mentioned above.
Water potential is the potential energy of water per unit volume relative to pure water in reference conditions. Water potential quantifies the tendency of water to move from one area to another due to osmosis, gravity, mechanical pressure and matrix effects such as capillary action (which is caused by surface tension).
Surface tension originates from cohesive forces between molecules, and in the bulk of the fluid, molecules experience attractive forces from all directions. The surface of a fluid is curved because exposed molecules on the surface have fewer neighboring interactions, resulting in a net force that contracts the surface.
English: Dependence of surface tension of pure water on temperature (at the saturation pressure corresponding to that temperature). Created by Stan J. Klimas using Gnumeric on Linux. Data based on "IAPWS Release on Surface Tension of Ordinary Water Substance, International Association for the Properties of Water and Steam", September 1994.
