  2. Critical point (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point...

    It is called supercritical fluid. The common textbook knowledge that all distinction between liquid and vapor disappears beyond the critical point has been challenged by Fisher and Widom, [8] who identified a p–T line that separates states with different asymptotic statistical properties (Fisher–Widom line).

  3. Critical opalescence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_opalescence

    The phenomenon is most commonly demonstrated in binary fluid mixtures, such as methanol and cyclohexane.As the critical point is approached, the sizes of the gas and liquid region begin to fluctuate over increasingly large length scales (the correlation length of the liquid diverges).

  4. Crystallization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crystallization

    The first type of known secondary crystallization is attributable to fluid shear, the other due to collisions between already existing crystals with either a solid surface of the crystallizer or with other crystals themselves. Fluid-shear nucleation occurs when liquid travels across a crystal at a high speed, sweeping away nuclei that would ...

  5. Supercritical fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_fluid

    A supercritical fluid (SCF) is a substance at a temperature and pressure above its critical point, where distinct liquid and gas phases do not exist, but below the pressure required to compress it into a solid. [1] It can effuse through porous solids like a gas, overcoming the mass transfer limitations that slow liquid transport through such ...

    Phase behavior Triple point: 91 K (−182 °C), 1.1 Pa Critical point: 305.3 K (32.2 °C), 4.9 MPa Std enthalpy change of fusion, Δ fus H o: 9.76 kJ/mol at −182 °C

  7. Ethane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethane

    Ethane (US: / ˈ ɛ θ eɪ n / ETH-ayn, UK: / ˈ iː θ eɪ n / EE-thayn) is a naturally occurring organic chemical compound with chemical formula C 2 H 6. At standard temperature and pressure, ethane is a colorless, odorless gas. Like many hydrocarbons, ethane is isolated on an industrial scale from natural gas and as a petrochemical by ...

  8. Flux method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux_method

    The flux method is a crystal growth method where starting materials are dissolved in a solvent (flux), and are precipitated out to form crystals of a desired compound. The flux lowers the melting point of the desired compound, analogous to a wet chemistry recrystallization. [1]

  9. Eutectic system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eutectic_system

    There can be crystals of any composition, which will melt at different temperatures depending on composition. However, Cu-Au system is a "poor" solid solution. There is a substantial misfit between the atoms in solid which, however, near the melting point is overcome by entropy of thermal motion mixing the atoms.
