Local Shape of the Vapor–Liquid Critical Point on the Thermodynamic Surface and the van der Waals Equation of State

Differential geometry is a powerful tool to analyze the vapor–liquid critical point on the surface of the thermodynamic equation of state. The existence of usual condition of the critical point (∂p/∂V)T=0 requires the isothermal process, but the universality of the critical point is its independence...
