Abstract
Formulas obtained by approximation of the rigorous expression for the interfacial tension of multicomponent, polyatomic fluids are shown to provide accurate and simple estimates of the composition dependence of the surface tension of nonaqueous, binary solutions at low vapor pressures. Similar formulas are recommended for multicomponent (that is, more than two components) solutions.Keywords
