Pressure dependence of the surface tension of mercury

The surface tension of mercury has been measured as a function of hydrostatic pressure up to 100 MPa. The pressure dependence of the interfacial tension between mercury and carbon tetrachloride is zero. Where one phase is helium the surface tension of mercury increases with pressure while it decreas...

Summary:The surface tension of mercury has been measured as a function of hydrostatic pressure up to 100 MPa. The pressure dependence of the interfacial tension between mercury and carbon tetrachloride is zero. Where one phase is helium the surface tension of mercury increases with pressure while it decreases when nitrogen or argon constitutes the second phase.
