Abstract
In a recent paper, Díaz-Herrera et al. [Mol. Phys. 122, e1989071 (2022)] have studied the condensation transition of spherical droplets in finite closed systems using large-scale Molecular Dynamics simulations. The authors find that the loci of discontinuities in the observed pressure–density isotherms do not converge to the bulk orthobaric curve, apparently at odds with results obtained previously using Monte Carlo simulations. The purpose of this comment is to point out that the Monte Carlo and Molecular Dynamics simulation results are actually mutually consistent, and the apparent differences are not related to the different sizes studied, but to the way each method implements sampling of configuration space.
