👉 The awarded fluid, often referred to as a "supercritical fluid," is a unique state of matter that exists at specific temperature and pressure conditions, typically above its critical point but below its critical temperature. This fluid combines properties of both liquids and gases, exhibiting high diffusivity like a gas while also having the density and solvent power of a liquid. Supercritical fluids, most commonly carbon dioxide under certain conditions, are highly valued in various applications such as extraction processes, chemical synthesis, and material processing due to their ability to penetrate materials effectively and dissolve substances efficiently without the environmental impact of traditional organic solvents.
