  2. Supercritical fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_fluid

    Near the critical point, small changes in pressure or temperature result in large changes in density, allowing many properties of a supercritical fluid to be "fine-tuned". Supercritical fluids occur in the atmospheres of the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, the terrestrial planet Venus, and probably in those of the ice giants Uranus and Neptune.

  3. Critical point (thermodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Critical_point...

    It is called supercritical fluid. The common textbook knowledge that all distinction between liquid and vapor disappears beyond the critical point has been challenged by Fisher and Widom, [8] who identified a p–T line that separates states with different asymptotic statistical properties (Fisher–Widom line).

  4. Transcritical cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcritical_cycle

    A transcritical cycle is a closed thermodynamic cycle where the working fluid goes through both subcritical and supercritical states. In particular, for power cycles the working fluid is kept in the liquid region during the compression phase and in vapour and/or supercritical conditions during the expansion phase.

  5. Non ideal compressible fluid dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non_ideal_compressible...

    Non ideal compressible fluid dynamics (NICFD), or non ideal gas dynamics, is a branch of fluid mechanics studying the dynamic behavior of fluids not obeying ideal-gas thermodynamics. It is for example the case of dense vapors , supercritical flows and compressible two-phase flows .

  6. Supercritical carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_carbon_dioxide

    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

  7. Supercritical fluid chromatography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_fluid...

    Supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) [1] is a form of normal phase chromatography that uses a supercritical fluid such as carbon dioxide as the mobile phase. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is used for the analysis and purification of low to moderate molecular weight , thermally labile molecules and can also be used for the separation of chiral compounds.

  8. Supercritical fluid extraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_fluid_extraction

    The supercritical solvent is passed into a vessel at lower pressure than the extraction vessel. The density, and hence dissolving power, of supercritical fluids varies sharply with pressure, and hence the solubility in the lower density CO 2 is much lower, and the material precipitates for collection. It is possible to fractionate the dissolved ...

  9. Supercritical adsorption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_adsorption

    This fundamental law determines the different adsorption mechanism for the subcritical and supercritical regions. For the subcritical region, the highest equilibrium pressure of adsorption is the saturation pressure of adsorbate. Beyond condensation happens. Adsorbate in the adsorbed phase is largely in liquid state, based on which different ...
