Abstract:
An exemplary embodiment of an interfacial tension measurement system of the present disclosure is one in which Faraday waves or instability are formed within a vessel of fluids to be tested via electrostatic oscillations. Then, by tracking the amplitude of an applied electrical voltage having an AC harmonic load to the mixture of fluids that result in a Faraday instability, as well as the wavelength of the instability, the interfacial tension measurement system determines the interfacial tension between layers of immiscible liquids present in the vessel.

Claim (Index 4):
An interfacial tension measurement method comprising:\n passing an electrostatic oscillation at a fixed frequency vertically through a vessel holding multiple immiscible liquids; increasing an amplitude of the electrostatic oscillation as the electrostatic oscillation passes through the immiscible liquids; recording a critical amplitude value of the electrostatic oscillation at an onset of a Faraday instability that is forced by the electrostatic oscillation to a data storage medium; measuring and recording a wavelength of the Faraday instability to a data storage medium; determining a measurement of interfacial tension between the immiscible liquids based on the recorded critical amplitude value, wavelength, and the fixed frequency; and outputting the measurement of the interfacial tension on a display.
