89. Note that the thermodynamic effect of pressure on the surface tension should be separated from the effect of increased dissolution of the gas applying the pressure. Because of the very low compressibility of most liquids (and water in particular), the effect of pressure per se is negligible at normal pressures.

The quantity r*, referred to here as the critical radius, is actually the critical radius calculated accoridng to the "classical" nucleation theory, for the supersaturation and other conditions prevailing, but taking no account of any possible reduction in the surface tension as a result of gas adsorption.
