An Experiment Aimed at Demonstrating the Validity of the Free Energy , Criterion Governing the Liquid Film Breakdown
Abstract
The criterion of the minimum free energy has been proved valid for the liquid film breakdown on a horizontal surface. The experiments were carried out on some glass surfaces on which the films were formed and their breakdown took place. The breakdown resulted in a free energy loss which could be related to the mass of the film. Taking this into account, an amended equation governing the film breakdown has been presented.
