This module contains implementations of :obj:`TDependentProperty <thermo.utils.TDependentProperty>`
representing liquid-air surface tension. A variety of estimation
and data methods are available as included in the `chemicals` library.
Additionally a liquid mixture surface tension predictor objects
are implemented subclassing :obj:`MixtureProperty <thermo.utils.MixtureProperty>`.

Consists of two mixing rules specific to surface tension, and mole

fractions, pure component surface tensions, and the molar density of each
pure component. :obj:`Diguilio_Teja <chemicals.interface.Diguilio_Teja>` is of similar accuracy, but requires
the surface tensions of pure components at their boiling points, as well
as boiling points and critical points and mole fractions. An ideal mixing
