This a Wikipedia article that I created

This is a Wikipedia article of the same name of which I was the original author and major contributor. I have re-formatted it, added a new section and madw it compatible with CZ. - Milton Beychok 23:45, 16 February 2008 (CST)

First figure

Milt, in the first figure you drew the letters "cw" (near the condensor). What does that mean?--Paul Wormer 15:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

"cw" is a commonly used abbreviation for "cooling water". If you think it is needed, I will revise the drawing to spell it out. Let me know. Milton Beychok 16:13, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

I feel that when it is there you should explain it. You can (i) skip it (ii) give it in the caption or (iii) put it in full in the figure. The choice is yours, I would choose (ii).--Paul Wormer 16:19, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Second figure

Milt, in the second figure you list pressures, not temperatures. Would it not be better to use a generic symbol, e.g., Q, and to have Q₁ < Q₂ < Q₃ < Q_∞ and then say that Q is either P or T and that for large Q ( = Q_∞) the dependence is linear (α = 1)?--Paul Wormer 15:55, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

comma

Let's start an edit war :-). Maybe you should make the sentence somewhat longer and write: When the volatilities of both key components are equal it follows that α = 1 and ....--Paul Wormer 16:01, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

But then I would add a comma and make it read:When the volatilities of both key components are equal, it follows that α = 1 and ..... Try speaking it out loud and you will notice that you automatically insert a silent comma between equal and it follows.... But if you want to change it, go ahead.
