SUMMARY
The condensation temperature of water is influenced by ambient temperature, humidity, and surface type. To calculate the optimum condensation temperature, utilizing a psychrometric chart is essential, as it allows users to determine the dew point based on specific temperature and humidity values. The type of surface does affect condensation, although quantifying this effect requires further research. For accurate measurement of water's surface tension, simpler and cost-effective methods are sought.
