PREFACE

During the past two years using all new data and correlations available, the Technical Data Book--Petroleum Refining project staff in the Department of Chemical Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University has revised the surface tension portion of Chapter 10 and added new material on interfacial tension. Data banks were prepared and procedures were replaced and added. Detailed results of the evaluations are given in Documentation Report No. 10-82 available from University Microfilms, Ann Arbor, Michigan.

Work on this chapter was primarily accomplished by M. J. Engel under the project directors Thomas E. Daubert and Ronald P. Danner. The chapter coordinator for the Subcommittee on Technical Data was Costa Tsonopoulos, Exxon Research and Engineering Company.
