Abstract
Of the existing theories for estimating the tensile strength of a liquid, that proposed by Temperley (1947) is the one which agrees best with the experimental results in the case of water. Temperley's theory is used to estimate the tensile strength of liquid argon, oxygen and nitrogen and the results are compared with those of other theories and also with the experimental values obtained for these liquids.Keywords
