  2. Critical point (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

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

    However, the liquid–vapor boundary terminates in an endpoint at some critical temperature T c and critical pressure p c. This is the critical point. The critical point of water occurs at 647.096 K (373.946 °C; 705.103 °F) and 22.064 megapascals (3,200.1 psi; 217.75 atm; 220.64 bar). [3]

  3. Van der Waals equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_equation

    It explains the existence of the critical point and the liquid–vapor phase transition, including the observed metastable states. It establishes the theorem of corresponding states. It is an intermediate mathematical model, useful as a pedagogical tool when teaching physics, chemistry, and engineering.

  4. Eötvös rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eötvös_rule

    The density, molar mass and the critical temperature of the liquid have to be known. At the critical point the surface tension is zero. The first assumption of the Eötvös rule is: 1. The surface tension is a linear function of the temperature. This assumption is approximately fulfilled for most known liquids.

  5. Phase rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_rule

    Carbon dioxide pressure-temperature phase diagram showing the triple point and critical point of carbon dioxide. In the phase diagram to the right, the boundary curve between the liquid and gas regions maps the constraint between temperature and pressure when the single-component system has separated into liquid and gas phases at equilibrium ...

  6. Inversion temperature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inversion_temperature

    The inversion temperature in thermodynamics and cryogenics is the critical temperature below which a non-ideal gas (all gases in reality) that is expanding at constant enthalpy will experience a temperature decrease, and above which will experience a temperature increase.

  7. Lydersen method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydersen_method

    The Lydersen method is a group contribution method for the estimation of critical properties temperature (T c), pressure (P c) and volume (V c).The method is named after Aksel Lydersen who published it in 1955. [1]

  8. Reduced properties - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reduced_properties

    The reduced temperature of a fluid is its actual temperature, divided by its critical temperature: [1] = where the actual temperature and critical temperature are expressed in absolute temperature scales (either Kelvin or Rankine). Both the reduced temperature and the reduced pressure are often used in thermodynamical formulas like the Peng ...

  9. Phase diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_diagram

    A phase diagram in physical chemistry, engineering, mineralogy, and materials science is a type of chart used to show conditions (pressure, temperature, etc.) at which thermodynamically distinct phases (such as solid, liquid or gaseous states) occur and coexist at equilibrium.
