Ramsay-Shields-Eötvös equation

[′ram·zē ′shēlz ′ȯt·vȯsh i‚kwā·zhən] (thermodynamics) An elaboration of the Eötvös rule which states that at temperatures not too near the critical temperature, the molar surface energy of a liquid is proportional to tc -t-6 K, where t is the temperature and tc is the critical temperature.
