Retrograde condensation is the phenomenon that deals with the phase(liquid and vapor) behavior of a hydrocarbon mixture in the critical region where gas is converted to a liquid through a reduction in pressure. 1, record 2, English, - retrograde%20condensation
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 2 CONT
When pressure is decreased, instead of the hydrocarbons expanding(as might be expected), they tend to condense. This phenomenon is known as retrograde condensation. 1, record 2, English, - retrograde%20condensation
