Crossover equation of state models applied to the critical behavior of xenon (Q2351736)

This paper reanalyzes the turbidity measurements of Güttinger and Cannell near the xenon liquid-gas critical point without adjustable parameter. In general, a renormalizable theory cannot predict the location of the critical point or estimate the true extension of the fluid preasymptotic domain. However, the thermodynamic information contained in the experimental location of the isolated liquid-vapor critical point on the experimental phase surface of the equation of state permits the authors to implement a massive renormalization scheme for the critical isochore. They propose a new crossover master model of the parametric equation of state for near-critical fluids without adjustable parameter by calculating the adjustable Ising-like crossover parameters of the crossover parametric model to match the master singular behaviors of the one-component fluids. This theoretical finding may be extended to any other one-component fluid for which the experimental location of its liquid-gas critical point is known in the pressure, temperature, and molecular volume phase surface.
