Supercritical carbon dioxide (s CO 2 ) is a fluid state of carbon dioxide where it is held at or above its critical temperature and critical pressure . Carbon dioxide usually behaves as a gas in air at standard temperature and pressure (STP), or as a solid called dry ice when cooled and/or pressurised sufficiently.
Efficient supercritical CO 2 power cycles requires that the compressor inlet temperature is close to, or even lower than, the critical temperature of the fluid (31 °C for pure carbon dioxide). When this target is reached, and the heat source is higher than 600–650 °C, then the sCO 2 cycle outperforms any Rankine cycle running on water ...
Supercritical carbon dioxide sometimes intercalates into buttons, and, when the SCD is depressurized, the buttons pop, or break apart. Detergents that are soluble in carbon dioxide improve the solvating power of the solvent. [20] CO 2-based dry cleaning equipment uses liquid CO 2, not supercritical CO 2, to avoid damage to the buttons.
The symmetry of a carbon dioxide molecule is linear and centrosymmetric at its equilibrium geometry. The length of the carbon–oxygen bond in carbon dioxide is 116.3 pm, noticeably shorter than the roughly 140 pm length of a typical single C–O bond, and shorter than most other C–O multiply bonded functional groups such as carbonyls.

Boca Raton, Florida, 2003; Section 6, Fluid Properties; Critical Constants. Also agrees with Celsius values from Section 4: Properties of the Elements and Inorganic Compounds, Melting, Boiling, Triple, and Critical Point Temperatures of the Elements Estimated accuracy for Tc and Pc is indicated by the number of digits.
Anisimov et al. (2004), [11] without referring to Frenkel, Fisher, or Widom, reviewed thermodynamic derivatives (specific heat, expansion coefficient, compressibility) and transport coefficients (viscosity, speed of sound) in supercritical water, and found pronounced extrema as a function of pressure up to 100 K above the critical temperature.
Drinking coffee could extend your life up to two years, new research finds. Regular coffee consumption was found to be associated with increased health span (time spent living free from serious ...
‡ Second column of table indicates solubility at each given temperature in volume of CO 2 as it would be measured at 101.3 kPa and 0 °C per volume of water. The solubility is given for "pure water", i.e., water which contain only CO 2. This water is going to be acidic. For example, at 25 °C the pH of 3.9 is expected (see carbonic acid).
