Surface tension is one of the main physical parameters of foams. The surface tension of Sodium Dodecyl Benzene Sulfonate （SDBS）solution and Triton solution are measured by the drop volume method，and at the same time CO2 saturated SDBS solution is also measured in this paper. It is found the solution concentration has an obvious effect on the surface tension. For SDBS solution, the surface tension gradually decreases with the increase of surfactant concentration while keeps constant after a certain concentration. For Triton solution, on the other hand, the surface tension always remains approximately constant in the studied concentration region. The surface tension of CO2 saturated SDBS solution is slightly higher than SDBS solution through experimental investigations.

Summaryβ-Casein, was enzymically modified by incubation with plasmin to yield γ-caseins and proteose peptones. Whole γ-, γ1-, γ2/γ3-caseins and whole proteose peptone (pp) were isolated from the hydrolysate mixture. The time dependence of surface tension at the air-water interface of solutions of β-casein and its plasmin derived fragments, at concentrations of 10−1 to 10−4% (w/v) protein, pH 7.0, was determined, at 25 °C, using a drop volume apparatus. The ranking of the proteins with respect to rate of reduction of surface tension, during the first rate determining step, at 10-2% (w/v) protein, was γ2/γ3 ≫ pp > whole γ- > γ1- > β-casein. The ranking of the proteins with respect to surface pressures attained after 40 min (π40) was concentration dependent. γ2/γ3-Caseins were found to be very surface active, decreasing surface tension rapidly and giving a high π40. γ1 Casein decreased surface activity somewhat faster than β-casein, but generally reached a lower π40. Whole γ-casein reflected the properties of both γ1 and γ2/γ3-caseins. Proteose peptone was found to decrease surface tension rapidly during the initial rate determining step; it gave a relatively high π40 at a bulk phase concentration of 10−3% (w/v) protein, but, it was the least surface active protein at 10−1 and 10−2% (w/v) protein.

Surface tension and solution evaporation of aqueous solutions of sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), ECOSURF™ EH-14, and ECOSURF™ SA-9 under natural convection is examined through experimental methods. SLS is an anionic surfactant while EH-14 and SA-9 are environmentally-friendly nonionic surfactants. Surfactants are known to affect evaporation performance of solutions and are studied in relation to water loss prevention and heat dissipation. Surfactants could be useful under drought conditions which present challenges to water management on a yearly basis in arid areas of the world. Recent water scarcity in the greater Los Angeles area, south eastern Africa nations, eastern Australia and eastern Mediterranean countries has high cost of water loss by evaporation. Surfactants are studied as a potential method of suppressing evaporation in water reservoirs. Surfactants are also studied as performance enhancers for the working fluid of heat dissipation devices, such as pulsating heat pipes used for electronics cooling. Some surfactants have been shown to lower thermal resistances and friction pressure in such devices and thereby increase their efficiency. The static surface tensions of the aqueous-surfactant solutions are measured with surface tensiometer using Wilhelmy plate method. The surfactants are shown to lower surface tension significantly from pure water. The surface tension values found at the Critical Micelle Concentration are 33.8 mN/m for SLS, 30.3 mN/m for EH-14, and 30.0 mN/m for SA-9. All three surfactants reduced natural convection water loss over 5 days with SLS showing the greatest effect on evaporation rates. The maximum evaporation reduction by each surfactant from distilled water with no surfactants after 5 days is 26.1% for SLS, 20.8% for EH-14, and 18.4% for SA-9.

Abstract Electrocapillary curves (surface tension γ as a function of the electrode potential E) for a series of room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) were measured using a mercury dropping electrode with the drop-weight (drop-volume) technique. The curves γ = f (E) for the Hg/RTIL interface have one maximum and may be approximated with a polynomial of sixth-order. There are no ‘humps’ in the curves. The interfacial tension of the Hg/RTIL system changes with potential E in a monotonic way. The second derivative of γ = f (E) leads to a polynomial of fourth order, indicating the capacitance of the Hg/RTIL interface. The potential of zero charge is within a relatively narrow range. The specific capacitance at the minimum is of the order 10 μF/cm2
