CRYOGENICS
For a long time it was thought that air remains in the gaseous state at
all temperatures.
But Andrew’s experiments on CO2 led to the discovery of critical
temperature.
The critical temperature is the temperature below which a gas can be
liquefied by mere application of pressure.
But it cannot be liquefied above the critical temperature, however,
larger may be the applied pressure.
Below the critical temperature, the gas is termed as vapour and above
the critical temperature it is called a gas.
