  2. Compressed fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_fluid

    The compressed fluid region is located to the left of the blue line (the liquid-vapor phase boundary). The international pictogram for compressed gases. A compressed fluid (also called a compressed or unsaturated liquid, [1] subcooled fluid or liquid) is a fluid under mechanical or thermodynamic conditions that force it to be a liquid. [2]

  3. Liquid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid

    Liquids generally expand when heated, and contract when cooled. Water between 0 °C and 4 °C is a notable exception. [24] On the other hand, liquids have little compressibility. Water, for example, will compress by only 46.4 parts per million for every unit increase in atmospheric pressure (bar). [25]

  4. Liquid carbon dioxide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_carbon_dioxide

    Liquid carbon dioxide is a type of liquid which is formed from highly compressed and cooled gaseous carbon dioxide. It does not form under atmospheric conditions. It only exists when the pressure is above 5.1 atm and the temperature is under 31.1 °C (88.0 °F) (temperature of critical point ) and above −56.6 °C (−69.9 °F) (temperature of ...

  5. Compression (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compression_(physics)

    Liquids and gases cannot bear steady uniaxial or biaxial compression, they will deform promptly and permanently and will not offer any permanent reaction force. However they can bear isotropic compression, and may be compressed in other ways momentarily, for instance in a sound wave. Tightening a corset applies biaxial compression to the waist.

  6. Supercritical fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_fluid

    At very high pressures, an SCF can be compressed into a solid because the melting curve extends to the right of the critical point in the P/T phase diagram. While the pressure required to compress supercritical CO 2 into a solid can be, depending on the temperature, as low as 570 MPa, [9] that required to solidify supercritical water is 14,000 ...

  7. Liquefaction of gases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquefaction_of_gases

    Many gases can be put into a liquid state at normal atmospheric pressure by simple cooling; a few, such as carbon dioxide, require pressurization as well. Liquefaction is used for analyzing the fundamental properties of gas molecules (intermolecular forces), or for the storage of gases, for example: LPG , and in refrigeration and air conditioning .

    A pregnant woman is recovering in the hospital after she was stabbed multiple times by a pizza delivery driver over the size of her tip, according to reports. The incident happened on Sunday, Dec ...

  9. State of matter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_of_matter

    Liquid crystal states have properties intermediate between mobile liquids and ordered solids. Generally, they are able to flow like a liquid, but exhibiting long-range order. For example, the nematic phase consists of long rod-like molecules such as para-azoxyanisole , which is nematic in the temperature range 118–136 °C (244–277 °F). [ 10 ]
