Comments on the behaviour of some thermodynamic characteristics of single component substance in the region defined by the line of liquid vapor equilibrium

Abstract

It is shown that in general case may be not correct the statements of [1,2,6-8] that 1) the isochoric heat capacity on the entire thermodynamic surface, including the metastable region of states and the region defined by the spinodal, remains positive and finite except for the critical point, and 2) the isobaric heat capacity becomes negative in the region defined by spinodal.
