Whenapurecompound,ingaseousorliquidstate,isheatedandcompressedabovethecriticaltemperatureandpressure,itbecomesadense,highlycompressiblefluidthatdemonstratespropertiesofbothliquidandgas.Forapurecompound,abovecriticalpressureandcriticaltemperature,thesystemisoftentimesreferredtoasadensefluidorsupercriticalfluidtodistinguishitfromnormalvaporandliquid(seeFigure1forcarbondioxide).Densephaseisafourth(Solid,Liquid,Gas,Dense)phasethatcannotbedescribedbythesenses.Thewordfluidreferstoanythingthatwillflowandappliesequallywelltogasandliquid.Purecompoundsinthedensephaseorsupercriticalfluidstatenormallyhavebetterdissolvingabilitythandothesamesubstancesintheliquidstate.Thedensephasehasaviscositysimilartothatofagas,butadensityclosertothatofaliquid.Becauseofitsuniqueproperties,densephasehasbecomeattractivefortransportationofnaturalgas,enhancedoilrecovery,foodprocessingandpharmaceuticalprocessingproducts.
Thelowviscosityofdensephase,supercriticalcarbondioxide(comparedwithfamiliarliquidsolvents),makesitattractiveforenhancedoilrecovery(EOR)sinceitcanpenetratethroughporousmedia(reservoirformation).Ascarbondioxidedissolvesinoil,itreducesviscosityandoilwaterinterfacialtension,swellstheoilandcanprovidehighlyefficientdisplacementifmiscibilityisachieved.Additionally,substancesdispersethroughoutthedensephaserapidly,duetohighdiffusioncoefficients.Carbondioxideisofparticularinterestindensefluidtechnologybecauseitisinexpensive,nonflammable,nontoxic,andodorless.Pipelineshavebeenbuilttotransportnaturalgasinthedensephaseregionduetoitshigherdensity,andthisalsoprovidestheaddedbenefitofnoliquidsformationinthepipeline.

CompressibilityFactor:
Ingeneral,thecompressibilityfactorZ,calculatedbyanequationofstateisnotaccuratefortheliquidphase.Therefore,Figure4whichpresentscompressibilityfactorasafunctionofpressureandtemperatureshouldbeconsideredforqualitativestudyonly.IntheisobaricsubcoolingpathofAB,Zremainsalmostconstant.However,intheisothermalcompressionofBCpath,Zincreasesdrastically.IntheisobaricCDpath,Zincreasesgraduallyastemperatureisincreasedwellintothedensephaseregion.Asthetemperatureincreasesfurtherinthedensephase,theincreaseinZisaccelerated.TheincreaseinZisfurtheracceleratedduringisothermalexpansionofDE.IsobariccoolingofvaporalongFFpathcorrespondswithagradualdecreaseinZ.
