Abstract
We discuss various thermodynamic equations used to represent the properties along the saturation line (fluid density, gas density, order parameter, mean diameter, etc) in a neighborhood of the critical temperature Tc. These properties are described scaling functions, depending on some parameters including the critical exponents α and β. Along with well-known models, we investigate a new model that represents the mean diameter as a sum of two scaling members in the critical region. The first term of this sum depends on the exponent, a and the second one depends on exponent, 2β. In the paper is given a methodological rationale for the new function representing the mean diameter. We have made numerical estimates for sulphur hexafluoride using the parameters involving with the above scaling equations.
