Surface-energy Sentence Examples
Mendeleeff endeavoured to obtain a connexion between surface energy and constitution; more successful were the investigations of Schiff, who found that the " molecular surface tension," which he defined as the surface tension divided by the weight.
Ramsay and Shields suggested that there exists an equation for the surface energy of liquids, analogous to the volume-energy equation of gases, PV = RT.
Similarly with two liquids like oil and water, which do not mix, we have surface energy proportional to the area of contact.
The ordinary surface energy of a two-phase system tends to diminish the area of contact, and thus to help the growth of the larger aggregates required for coagulation.
The function of the electrolyte may be to annul such a natural charge and thus allow the non-electric surface energy to produce coagulation.
We may call this the surface energy.
When the liquid is in contact with a rare medium, such as its own vapour or any other gas, x is greater than xo, and the surface energy is positive.
Let T be the surface energy per unit of area; then the energy of a surface of area S will be ST.
It has, therefore, a certain amount of surface-energy depending on the area of these two surfaces.
If the bubble is in the form of a sphere of radius r this material surface will have an area S = 41rr 2 (I) If T be the energy corresponding to unit of area of the film the surface-energy of the whole bubble will be ST = 41rr 2 T (2) The increment of this energy corresponding to an increase of the radius from r to r-+dr is therefore TdS = 81rrTdr (3) Now this increase of energy was obtained by forcing in air at a pressure greater than the atmospheric pressure, and thus increasing the volume of the bubble.
AdvertisementHence the numerical value of the intensity of the surface-tension is equal to the numerical value of the surface-energy per unit of surface.
A measure of the relative facet areas allows us to calculate a relative surface energy ratio E 001 / E 111 = 1.4.
Satellite remote sensing with aim of improving knowledge of ice sheet topography, ice dynamics and surface energy balance.
