Air - Properties at Gas-Liquid Equilibrium Conditions

Sponsored Links

At standard conditions, air is a mixture of gases. However, at low temperature and high pressures the gas mixture becomes a liquid. The air phase diagram shows the phase behavior with changes in temperature and pressure. The curve between the triple point and the critical point shows the air boiling point with changes in pressure.

Critical point: The end point of the pressure-temperature curve that designates conditions under which a liquid and its vapor can coexist. At higher temperatures, the gas cannot be liquefied by pressure alone. At the critical point, defined by the critical temperature T c and the critical pressure P c , phase boundaries vanish.
Critical temperature of air:           132.63 K = -140.52 °C = -220.94 °F
Critical pressure of air:                37.363 atm = 37.858 bar = 3.7858 MPa (MN/m 2 ) = 549.08 psi (=lb f /in 2 )


Triple point: The temperature and pressure at which the three phases (gas, liquid, and solid) of a substance coexist in thermodynamic equilibrium
Triple point pressure of air:         0.05196 atm = 0.05265 bar = 5265 Pa = 0.7636 psi (=lb f /in 2 )
Triple point temperature of air:    59.75 K = -213.40 °C = -352.12 °F

The figures below show the changes in thermophysical properties along the air boiling and condensation curves: Vapour pressure , density , viscosity , heat capacity , thermal conductivity .

Tabulated values given in SI and imperial units, and unit converters are given below the figures.
