👉 The Yale Fluid, also known as Yale's Fluid or Yale's Fluid, is a colloidal suspension of sodium chloride (table salt) in water, first described by chemist Henry Yale in the early 20th century. It's characterized by its unique properties, including a high surface tension and a tendency to form a stable emulsion when mixed with certain substances. The Yale Fluid is particularly notable for its ability to resist the formation of droplets when dispersed in water, making it an essential tool in various scientific and industrial applications, such as in the study of surface chemistry, colloid science, and the development of surfactants. Its stability and behavior under different conditions have made it a valuable reference fluid in laboratory settings for understanding and manipulating colloidal systems.
