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).
The pressure on a pressure-temperature diagram (such as the water phase diagram shown above) is the partial pressure of the substance in question. 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 ...
Extend axis to add supercritical water and use proper negative signs. 05:49, 2 March 2016: 512 × 235 (11 KB) Cmglee: Fix water triple point pressure and label alignment. 00:29, 25 October 2013: 512 × 235 (11 KB) Cmglee
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 ...
English: Phase diagram of water as a log-lin chart with pressure from 1 Pa to 1 TPa and temperature from 0 K to 660 K, compiled from data in and . Note that the phases of Ice X and XI (hexagonal) differ from the diagram in .
Pressure–temperature phase diagram. The supercritical state is at pressures and temperatures above those of the critical point, but below the pressures required for transformation into a solid. The dashed green line shows the anomalous slope of the solid-liquid phase boundary exhibited by some substances, including water.
supercritical gas-liquid boundaries in pT diagram. 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.
Supercritical water exists at temperatures above 374 °C and pressures above 220 atmospheres. Diagram of a supercritical water-cooled nuclear reactor. A supercritical steam generator is a type of boiler that operates at supercritical pressure and temperature, frequently used in the production of electric power.
