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] In the vicinity of the critical point
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.
More specifically, it behaves as a supercritical fluid above its critical temperature (304.128 K, 30.9780 °C, 87.7604 °F) [1] and critical pressure (7.3773 MPa, 72.808 atm, 1,070.0 psi, 73.773 bar), [1] expanding to fill its container like a gas but with a density like that of a liquid. Supercritical CO
The point at the very top of the dome is called the critical point. This point is where the saturated liquid and saturated vapor lines meet. Past this point, it is impossible for a liquid–vapor transformation to occur. [3] It is also where the critical temperature and critical pressure meet.
This fold develops from a critical point defined by specific, critical, values of pressure, temperature, and molar volume. The surface is plotted using dimensionless variables that are formed by the ratio of each property to its respective critical value. This locates the critical point at the coordinates (1,1,1) of the space.
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 ...
Critical point: 405.5 K (132.3 °C), 11.300 MPa: ... Except where noted otherwise, data relate to Standard temperature and pressure. Reliability of data general note.
T c is the temperature at the critical point, and; P c is the pressure at the critical point. The Redlich–Kwong equation can also be represented as an equation for the compressibility factor of gas, as a function of temperature and pressure: [8]
