Key Points
- The surface tension or interfacial tension, , is the force exerted by an interfacial surface per unit length.
- The compression is done reversibly (very slowly), but non-adiabatically: the air receives heat through the walls throughout the process.
- Let us assume for the moment that the Clausius statement is incorrect, and that the device the Clausius statement claims is impossible (a "Clausius device") is actually possible.
- A cantilever in a traditionally timber framed building is called a jetty or forebay.
- The flow continues as long as there is any shear stress, no matter how small, and stops only when the shear stress is removed.
