Journal of engineering physics Aims and scope

Abstract

OP-10 surfactant has been used to show that the diffusion coefficient D of a surfactant in a liquid can be measured at low concentrations from the fall in the water level in a capillary. A simple formula is given for calculating D from the readings.
