Summary

SEVERAL EQUATIONS ARE KNOWN FOR THE CALCULATION OF THE EQUILIBRIUM RADII OF SMALL VAPOUR BUBBLES AND LIQUID DROPLETS. DIFFERENCES IN THE RESULTS ARE MOSTLY DUE TO VARIOUS SIMPLIFICATIONS IN THE DERIVATION OF SUCH EQUATIONS. THE CORRECT RELATIONSHIPS CAN EASILY BE OBTAINED BY MEANS OF TWO ISOTHERMAL CYCLES. THEREUPON IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE TO DECIDE WHICH THERMAL STATE GOVERNS THE THERMAL PROPERTIES. AS A BY-PRODUCT THE THOMSON EQUATION FOR THE VAPOUR PRESSURE AT A CURVED SURFACE CAN BE FOUND.
