Abstract
The size dependence of the linear tension of round two-dimensional equilibrium drops in the vapor phase on a homogeneous surface of an adsorbent is studied at the pressure of saturated two-dimensional vapor. The calculations are based on the lattice gas model in a quasi-chemical approximation with allowance for the correlation effects of the nearest interacting molecules. Methods for calculating linear tension using the equimolecular reference line are considered. Temperature dependences of the linear tension are studied for metastable and equilibrium drops. It is found that the differences between the thermodynamic properties of two types of drops are slight over a wide range of variation in drop radii.
