8. The reported value of LFP is the nominal temperature of the test surface. Obviously, the local temperature at which the liquid-solid contact occurs must be below the critical point.

12. Note that these values of nucleation superheat are much higher than those normally encountered on engineering surfaces where microcavities are present.
13. The calculated value of the heterogeneous nucleation temperature at d=1 nm is higher than the homogeneous nucleation temperature (∼300 °C for water at atmospheric pressure) because the size of the vapor embryos responsible for homogeneous nucleation is of the order of a few nanometers. Therefore, the fluid nucleates homogeneously before it does so heterogeneously.
