THEsurface tension of the liquid in a fractionating column is thought to be one of the important factors which control the plate efficiency (6). In order to evaluate this factor practically, the surface tensions of ethyl alcohol-water mixtures have been determined at temperatures below and at their atmospheric boiling points.
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.
