In the pressure-temperature phase diagram (Fig. 1) the boiling curve separates the gas and liquid region and ends in the critical point, where the liquid and gas phases disappear to become a single supercritical phase. The appearance of a single phase can also be observed in the density-pressure phase diagram for carbon dioxide (Fig. 2).
A plot of typical polymer solution phase behavior including two critical points: a LCST and an UCST. The liquid–liquid critical point of a solution, which occurs at the critical solution temperature, occurs at the limit of the two-phase region of the phase diagram. In other words, it is the point at which an infinitesimal change in some ...
Carbon dioxide pressure-temperature phase diagram This video shows the property of carbon dioxide to go into a supercritical state with increasing temperature. 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.
A phase diagram in physical ... For example, the water phase diagram has a triple point corresponding to the single ... in what is known as a supercritical fluid.
As the temperature and pressure approach the critical point, the properties of the liquid and gas become progressively more similar. At the critical point, the liquid and gas become indistinguishable. Above the critical point, there are no longer separate liquid and gas phases: there is only a generic fluid phase referred to as a supercritical ...
In the context of the pressure-temperature phase diagram of a substance and of the supercritical fluid state in particular, the Widom line is a line emanating from the critical point which in a way extends the liquid-vapor coexistence curve above the critical point. It corresponds to the maxima or minima of certain physical properties of the ...
According to textbook knowledge, it is possible to transform a liquid continuously into a gas, without undergoing a phase transition, by heating and compressing strongly enough to go around the critical point. However, different criteria still allow to distinguish liquid-like and more gas-like states of a supercritical fluid. These criteria ...
Supercritical fluid: A fluid with properties intermediate of liquids and gasses. At sufficiently high temperatures and pressures, the distinction between liquid and gas disappears, resulting in supercritical fluids. Plasma: Unlike gases, which are composed of neutral atoms, plasma contains a significant number of free electrons and ionized atoms.
