This is a Wikipedia article of the same name of which I was the original author and major contributor. I have re-formatted it, added a new section and madw it compatible with CZ. - Milton Beychok 23:45, 16 February 2008 (CST)

First figure

Milt, in the first figure you drew the letters "cw" (near the condensor). What does that mean?--Paul Wormer 15:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Second figure

Milt, in the second figure you list pressures, not temperatures. Would it not be better to use a generic symbol, e.g., Q, and to have Q1 < Q2 < Q3 < Q and then say that Q is either P or T and that for large Q ( = Q) the dependence is linear (α = 1)?--Paul Wormer 15:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
