Critical Point and Spinodal Line

2 Critical Point and Spinodal Line The boundaries to the instability, and can be found from d l = 0. They are the two roots of the quadratic 

The same condition can be obtained from the stability of an open system that allows rip and to change independently (Problem 2.10).

Carry out a review of the literature on diffusion in the vicinity of critical points and spinodal lines. Your review should concentrate on summarizing the data that has been measured as well as on contrasting the various theories that have been proposed to explain diffusion phenomena near critical conditions. Consider the question Can the fact that the matrix of Fick diffusion coefficients is close to being singular near the spinodal be exploited in a commercially useful separation process ...
