Die Continuität des Gasförmigen und Flüssigen Zustandes (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book details the investigations into the role of cohesive power in determining the surface tension of liquids. Since Pierre-Simon Laplace's important work on capillary theory, cohesive power has been a particular focus of research. The author's approach was to work from the premise that the molecular pressure on the unit of surface area, a quantity bound up with cohesive power, can be calculated by establishing a relationship between the gaseous and liquid states of matter. The author presents an analytical expression for molecular pressure and the potential energy of a fluid, concluding that a liquid's surface tension is determined solely by cohesive power.
