About the Cover:

The coffee beans on the cover, together with the phase diagram for carbon dioxide, represent one of the applications of supercritical fluid extraction discussed by Phelps, Smart, and Wai beginning on page 1163. The pictures superimposed on the phase diagram show a liquid-vapor equilibrium below the critical temperature and pressure, CO2 at the critical point, and supercritical fluid CO2.
