Notes:
In stirred beakers the interfacial area between xylene containing a scintillator and tritiated water was measured as a function of stirrer speed by a scintillation counting technique. Because of the 6 μ average range of the tritium betas the rate at which flashes are detected by a phototube is a function of the interfacial area. A calibration curve of count rate against known interfacial area for unstirred phases in containers of various diameters gave a numerical estimate of the interfacial area for ten configurations.
