Abstract

Surface tension is a physical property to be considered for designing thermal desalination technologies, as evaporation is the core process at the water–air interface. It is sensitive to liquid temperature and salinity. Thus, this chapter explains multicomponent models, correlation, and data used to estimate surface tension at different salinity and temperature values. Besides, the calculated surface tension values from the correlations and methods are compared and discussed against the experimental data of seawater. This chapter recommends some correlations and methods based on their accuracy and operating conditions. Also, the codes used for the investigated surface tension methods are provided.
