THE EFFECT OF SURFACE ACTIVE AGENTS ON THE STABILITY OF FALLING LIQUID FILMS.

Abstract

The objective of this research project was to study, both theoretically and experimentally, the stabilizing effects of surface active agents on falling liquid films. Conclusion: The entrance region and the onset of waves are profoundly effected by the presence of surfactants while the wave structure of the unstable film is effected very little. (Author)
