We discuss diffusion (including sedimentation) and thermal diffusion in the critical region (both for liquid‐liquid and vapour‐liquid equilibria) of binary fluid systems. In particular, we present diagrams and discussions of experimental values of diffusion coefficients, sedimentation coefficients, and thermal diffusion factors for the liquid systems n‐hexane + nitrobenzene (with upper consolute point) and water + triethylamine (with lower consolute point), both at 1 bar, and for the fluid system methane + propane at about 73°C in the critical vaporization region. In the last case, we check a formula proposed by the author in 1950.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
