The definition of a supercritical fluid usually begins with a phase diagram,(see attached figure) which defines the critical temperature and pressure of a substance.
(for example: CO2 ; Tc = 31.1 °C, Pc = 73.8 bar)
A supercritical fluid is a material which can be either liquid or gas, used in a state above the critical temperature and critical pressure where gases and liquids can coexist. It shows unique properties that are different from those of either gases or liquids under standard ...
