Correlation between surface tension, density, and sound velocity of liquid metals
The inter-relation ship of surface tension sigma, density rho, and sound velocity c has been examined for forty-one liquid metals. Sound velocities correlate with the equation, log c = 0.5526 log(sigma/rho) + 5.4364. Unknown sound velocities may be estimated using surface tension and liquid density values. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc.
