A Model for the Estimation of Surface Tension of Pure Hydrocarbon Liquids

Surface tension is an important property and its accurate prediction is required in most chemical engineering calculations. An equation for the surface tension of liquid hydrocarbons as a function of temperature is developed considering intermolecular attractions in liquid phase are reflected by its...
