Abstract
The thermodynamic stability of a single, one-component droplet in a finite system with adsorbing walls is investigated. The conditions under which a stable equilibrium state of the droplet is predicted to exist depend critically on the adsorption isotherm of the confining walls. If the amount absorbed remains finite when the pressure in the vapor is greater than the fluid’s saturation pressure, then a stable equilibrium state is possible. When the model is extended to a system of multiple droplets, the stable equilibrium state is predicted to always correspond to a single droplet.
