WP article is for 90% mine.--Paul Wormer 04:24, 22 August 2007 (CDT)

I changed a lot in the CZ version w.r.t the WP version (added a graph and removed a redundant equation), but forgot to switch off the WP flag. I dare now to give it status 1. --Paul Wormer 03:12, 9 September 2007 (CDT)

{{ToApprove}} However, there does appear to be an "n" missing in p V = RT in the text just below the isotherm figure David E. Volk 14:47, 4 October 2007 (CDT)

I have reinserted the n but it states: approximates meaning that a constant can be omitted as it behaves according to pv=RT. R being a constant derived during the equation derivation can for that evident reason not be omitted. Robert Tito |  Talk 

References

Leiden, 1873 is not informative, is there is full reference for it? Kim van der Linde 16:27, 4 October 2007 (CDT)

I will see if I can dig op the article in the Kammerlingh Onnes lab. Robert Tito |  Talk  16:32, 4 October 2007 (CDT)
