2.8. The surface tension of water $gamma$ in dynes per centimeter is given by the empirical equation (W. D. Harkins: The Physical Chemistry of Surface Films, Reinhold, New York, 1952, p. 76.), $gamma = 75.796 - 0.145 heta - 0.00024 heta^2$, where $ heta$ is the Celsius temperature. Calculate the change of surface tension with respect to temperature $ heta$, $dgamma/d heta$, at 10°C and 60°C.

The surface tension σ has the dimensions force per unit length. Consider a convection heat transfer situation in which surface tension is important. Show that the additional quantity ρU²l/σ, termed the Webber number, We, is required to determine the Nusselt number. (Note: in this problem, we assume that the heat transfer coefficient depends on the conductivity, specific heat, density, viscosity, characteristic length, speed, buoyancy, and finally the surface tension)
