Starting from a hydrodynamic basic equation given by Reynolds a relation is derived which describes the kinetics of the approach of a spherically formed and a plane solid plate in a liquid with a viscosity coefficient η under the action of a force K.Liquids which show a molecular long range orientation up to a distance of about 10
The disjoining pressure of some dipolar organic liquids (PhN02, PhCN, PhCH,CN, PhCF3, MeCN) forming thin layers between two fused silica surfaces shows maximum values in temperature ranges which refer to thermodynamic transitions of higher order. Here the molecules in the bulk liquid seem to gain an additional rotational degree of freedom about one axis, whereas the molecules in the oriented surface zone still show a rotational restriction about this axis. Thermodynamic quantities for the liquid boundary layers are introduced and discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
