The Critical Point is Not the end of the line (VDW Eqn. of State pt. 1)

An introduction to 3D PVT phase diagrams and a closer look at the critical point. ___________________ Thanks to @pbsspacetime for motivating me to finish this video sooner. One minor point of contention: dragons don’t live in the supercritical region, they live at the phase boundaries. ___________________ ** Fun with phase transformations ** PBS Space Time, “How Can Matter Be BOTH Liquid AND Gas?“, minutephysics, “Freezing water expands.
