Chemical Engineering
The temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied by pressure alone.
Geology and Earth Sciences
The temperature above which a gas cannot be liquefied, regardless of the pressure, and becomes a supercritical fluid with the molecular freedom of a gas, but the density of a liquid. The critical temperature for water is 374°C.
