Size-dependent enthalpy of condensation.
A thermodynamic model for the size dependence of enthalpy of condensation, DeltaH(con), is discussed. The model is valid over a range of radii where the arrangement of surface layer and surface tension remain invariable; it provides a way of calculating enthalpy and entropy changes and equilibrium vapor pressures. The difference between DeltaH(con) for two liquid bodies of the same chemical nature is equal to the variation of the autoadsorption energies on their surfaces.
