Surface tension of liquid Cd-Zn-Sn alloys

A model predicting the surface tension of multicomponent solutions from the knowledge of thermodynamic properties, densities and surface tensions for limiting binaries has been proposed. The model was tested for the surface t ension of Cd-Zn-Sn alloys, which were determined by the maximum bubble pres sure method. Surface tension and density data of Cd-Sn and Zn-Sn alloys wer e acquired from literature. A fairly good agreement between predicted and e xperimental data was obtained for Cd-Zn-Sn.
