Preferred Label : surface work;
IUPAC definition : surface tension is the intensive factor in the differential expression for the work
required to increase the area of the surface of tension. Measured under reversible
conditions at constant temperature (and normally constant pressure) and referred to
unit area, this work, the so-called (differential) surface work, is equal to the static
surface tension.;
