Thermodynamic Derivation of Scaling at the Liquid–Vapor Critical Point
With the use of thermodynamics and general equilibrium conditions only, we study the entropy of a fluid in the vicinity of the critical point of the liquid–vapor phase transition. By assuming a general form for the coexistence curve in the vicinity of the critical point, we show that the functional...
