“…The thermodynamics of a system in the critical region is dominated by the presence of long-range density fluctuations. As a consequence, the thermodynamic surface of fluids exhibits a singularity at the critical point which can be described in terms of non-analytical scaling laws with universal critical exponents and universal scaling functions [100,101]. All classical, analytical equation of state mentioned above fail to reproduce the singular behavior of fluids and fluid mixtures in the critical and supercritical regions.…”

“…Simulations of finite systems in the canonical ensemble results in an overestimate of the critical temperature (or an underestimate for an LCST). The results of GEMC simulations can be treated as "experimental data" and analyzed using the ideas of universal critical exponents and corrections to scaling [32]. The liquid-liquid phase transition exhibited by the square-well mixture belongs to the three-dimensional Ising-type universality class.…”

“…Renormalization group theory leads to scaling laws for critical phenomena which can be used to correct for the behavior away from the asymptotic critical region [33]. The resulting expansion for the mole fraction can be written as an expansion in the departure from the critical temperature t 1 2 T ͞T c as [27,32]:…”

“…15 The resulting critical-temperature values were then used, along with the law of rectilinear diameters, 16,17 to determine the critical density, ρ c , of each compound. Representative plots of eqn 5 for the perfluoroalkanes are shown in Fig 4(a), while the corresponding L-V phase envelopes are shown in Fig 4(b).…”
