LIQUEFACTION OF GASES
18
If the temperature and pressure of a gas can be brought into the region between the saturated liquid and
saturated vapour lines then the gas will become ‘wet’ and this ‘wetness’ will condense giving a liquid.
Most gases existing in the atmosphere are extremely superheated, but are at pressures well below their
critical pressures. Critical point data for common gases and some hydrocarbons are given in
Table 18.1.
Figure 18.1 depicts qualitatively the state point of oxygen at ambient conditions and shows that it is
a superheated gas at this pressure and temperature, existing at well above the critical temperature, but
below the ...
