The liquid-gas interface of oxygen-nitrogen solutions - 1. Surface tension
The capillary method of surface tension measurement has been used to measure the Surface tension of oxygen-nitrogen solutions in the temperature range from 80 to 132 K. At temperatures below the nitrogen critical temperature (T-c = 126.2 K) the capillary constant and the surface tension of solutions are smaller than their additive values and Vary linearly with the temperature. Experimental data are compared with the results of calculating the surface tension by the theories of Pinnes and Rowlinson. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
