Definition

A thermodynamic principle stating that simple fluids exhibit similar property behavior when compared at the same reduced conditions, i.e., when temperature, pressure and specific volume are scaled by each fluid's critical properties (Tr = T/Tc, Pr = P/Pc, vr = v/vc), enabling generalized correlations across substances of similar molecular character.
