Surface tension and evaporation: An empirical relation for water

Abstract

Several important phenomenological relations dealing with thermophysical properties of liquids are collected. It is shown that the Laplace ratio between the surface energy and the latent heat improves substantially if we add a volume-expansion term to the surface energy.
