Thermodynamic scaling near the critical point is a signature of critical phenomena, and many useful applications of supercritical solvent fluids depend upon exploiting this behavior in some technologically interesting way. Near the critical point, many transport and thermodynamic properties show anomalous behavior which is usually linked to the divergence of certain thermodynamic properties, such as the fluid’s isothermal compressibility. In figures 3.1 and 3.2 we depict the near-critical behavior of both the density of xenon and the thermal conductivity of carbon dioxide, respectively, adapted from published data [1, 2]. The onset of what appear to be critical singularities in these properties is clearly evident in both instances. In this chapter, we focus upon the thermodynamic basis for this type of behavior. In the theory of critical phenomena, the limiting behavior of certain thermodynamic properties near the critical point assumes special significance. In particular, properties that diverge at the critical point are of interest, and this divergence is usually described in terms of scaling laws.
