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]
The Ambrose method was published by Douglas Ambrose in 1978 and 1979. It can be used to estimate critical temperature, critical pressure, and critical volume. In addition to the molecular structure, it requires normal boiling point for estimating critical temperature and molecular weight for estimating critical pressure. [9] [10]
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.
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 ...
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.
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 ...

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]
