Sublimation Line, Fusion Line & Vaporization Line


The line that separates the solid and vapor phases is called the sublimation line. 

The line that separates the solid and liquid phases is called the fusion line. 

The line that separates the liquid and vapor phases is called the vaporization line.

Saturation Temperature, Saturation Pressure and Vapor Pressure Curve


The term saturation defines a condition in which a mixture of vapor and liquid can exist together at a given temperature and pressure.

The temperature at which vaporization (boiling) starts to occur for a given pressure is called the saturation temperature or boiling point. 
 
The pressure at which vaporization (boiling) starts to occur for a given temperature is called the saturation pressure.

The graphical representation of this relationship between temperature and pressure at saturated conditions is called the vapor pressure curve.

Sublimation, Vaporization, Condensation and Fusion or Melting


Sublimation - change of phase from solid to vapor
Vaporization - change of phase from liquid to vapor
Condensation - change of phase from vapor to liquid
Fusion or melting - change of phase from solid to liquid

Triple point


Triple point - the temperature and pressure at which all three phases can exist in equilibrium .

Critical Point


Critical Point:- The temperature and pressure above which there is no distinction between the liquid and vapor phases.
