point critique : Dans les systèmes contenant des phases liquides et gazeuses, il existe des combinaisons spéciales de pression et de température connues comme le point critique, auquel la transition entre le liquide et le gaz devient du second ordre. Près de ce point critique, le fluide est suffisamment chaud et comprimé que la distinction entre les phases liquides et gazeuses est presque inexistante. 2, record 1, French, - eau%20quasi%20critique
