Gas/Water Interfacial Tension

Gas/Water Interfacial Tension correlation was published by Baker and Swerdloff in 1956.

Math and Physics

 \sigma_{74} =75 - 1.108P^{0.349}
 \sigma_{100} =37.5 - 0.2571 SG_{oAPI}
 At\ T<68F,\  \sigma_{od}=\sigma_{68}
 At\ 68F<T<100F,\  \sigma_{od}=\frac{\sigma_{68} + (T - 68) * (\sigma_{100} - \sigma_{68})}{ (100 - 68)}
At\ T>100F,\ \sigma_{od}=\sigma_{100}
 \sigma_{o}=\sigma_{od} \times (1-0.24P^{0.45})

The interfacial tension becomes zero at miscibility pressure. 1 dyne/cm is used for calculations, then it becomes less than 1.

 if (\sigma_{o}<1) \sigma_{o}=1

Nomenclature

 P = pressure, psia
 \sigma_{o} = gas/oil interfacial tension, dynes/cm
 \sigma_{od} = gas/oil interfacial tension for dead oil, dynes/cm
 T = temperature, °F
