Abstract

The coexistence curve of cyclohexane + acetonitrile, a binary liquid mixture with a very low gravity-affected region, is studied. The order parameter exponent $\beta$ is nearly 0.325 and the diameter shows an anomalous behaviour. A pronounced wetting transition from complete wetting to incomplete wetting is observed below $T_c$.
