Abstract
For an analytical fluid it is shown that at the critical point the following discontinuities exist: CV(2 phasesn / VT = ρc) − CV ⧸ RZc = 3pal2paaa , d2p / dt2 − (∂2p / ∂t2)a = (Pat / 5paaa)[16pat − 10Paat + (3pat Paaaa) / Paaa], Tc[(d2G / dT2) − (∂2G / ∂T2)p](RZc)−1 = 15Pat / Paaa[Pat − 10paat + (3Pat Paaaa) / Paaa] , where a = (ρ/ρc) − 1;p = (P / Pc) − 1;t = (T / Tc) − 1; G is the Gibbs free energy or chemical potential; CV is the heat capacity at constant volume; n is the total number of moles in the calorimeter; VT is the total inside volume of the calorimeter; ρc, Pc, Tc are the critical molal density, critical pressure, and critical temperature, respectively; Zc = Pc / ρcRTc; and p with subscripts indicates partial derivatives of p evaluated at the critical point.
