LIQUIDS AND INTERMOLECULAR FORCES

He is the author of two other books. Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics (1962) and Vector Analysis in Chemistry (1974), and has published research articles on the theory of optical rotation, statistical mechanical theory of transport processes, nonequilibrium thermodynamics, molecular quantum mechanics, theory of liquids, intermolecular forces, and surface phenomena. 

The simplest and most common method of determining the surface tension of a liquid is the capillary tube rise method. If a glass capillary tube is immersed in a liquid such as water, the liquid in the capillary tube will rise above the outside level of the liquid. This is due to the greater liquid-solid force than the liquid-liquid intermolecular forces, and the liquid tends to wet as much of the solid...
