This is plotted on the right. The critical point falls inside the region where the gas cools on expansion. The outside region is where the gas warms on expansion.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book |last=Pippard |first=Alfred B. |title=Elements of classical thermodynamics: for advanced students of physics |date=1981 |publisher=Univ.
