Abstract: It has been almost sixty years since Cailletet, (1) a Frenchman, observed the phenomenon of retrograde condensation in the compression of air-carbon dioxide mixtures. He found that up to a certain pressure, the condensation of liquid increased but that still further compression resulted in diminishing liquefaction. In 1892, Kuenen (10) who was also studying the same phenomena, termed this unexpected trend, retrograde condensation. That little research or attention was given to these lindings lias probably been due to the fact that only within the past ten years have engineering operations had much to do with high pressure 5roces5es. Within the past decade a number of outstanding pieces of research (2) (8) (12) (14) have been made on this subject of retrograde condensation. In three large branches of the petroleum industry, high pressure (1000 lbs. per sq. inch and higher) has come to play an important role:
