Minor edit... the previous version said..."In particular he (Andrews) established the concepts of critical temperature and critical pressure, showing that the gas passes from the gaseous to the liquid state without any breach of continuity. This is confusing... it's thermodynamic vapor - liquid equilibrium not gas - liquid equilibrium, not a trivial point. Above the critical point (Pc, Vc, Tc) a single component exists neither as vapor or liquid - but only as a "gas" - i.e., gaseous fluid.Dieterbecher (talk) 07:11, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sources for Andrews nationality

The sources that backup his nationality are numerous besides the fact he was not only born and bred in Ireland pre-partition. Numerous academic text books also describe him as Irish. A normal editor is not an arbiter of what constitutes as reliable sources, that is up to the community in general and the admins who govern it.
