Above steps are automatically carried out using a
program.
- Measure r, z, and θ at any surface point P, as shown in Fig.1(a).
- Input r, z, and θ to the program.
- Input the density of the liquid.
Then, the surface tension will be displayed.
You need the density of the liquid, because Eq.(1) is used.
Detailed theory on the surface profile of the liquid is clearly expressed in Ref.[2].
