The simplest estimate estimate  (also called Linear Blending Rule) of  Pseudo-Critical Point 

LaTeX Math Inline
body--uriencoded--( T_%7Bpc%7D, \, p_%7Bpc%7D )
 is the mole fraction weighted average of the Сritical Temperature  (Tc) and  Critical Pressure (pc) of mixture components (which are pure substances) :

There are other no-linear methods to blend the components  to estimate the Pseudo-Critical Point but many engineering applications use Apart from

 and

 which require fluid composition
 as the seed and then fit the values to match lab test data.

In case the fluid composition is not known one can use some popular empirical Pseudo-Critical Point Correlations to assess the Pseudo-Critical Point.
