Effects of hydrodynamic impact on water from the viewpoint of cluster theory. Surface tension

Abstract

Variation of surface tension coefficient σ of distilled water under high-energy impact (hydrodynamic cavitation) was studied by the ring separation method. Force impacts on surface tension of water have been studied experimentally. Conditions have been found under which the surface tension coefficient σ decreases to 20%. The paper explains the produced results on the basis of cluster theory of water structure. The experimentally produced relaxation time of the surface tension of cavitation-activated distilled water to initial value has been found to be 3.5 hours.
