{title2=$S_{\rm eq}(r)$}

The equilibrium <saturation ratio> over a <chemical solution> droplet as a function of wet radius for fixed solute content. In the dilute radius approximation $S_{\rm eq}\simeq1+A/r-B/r^3$, its maximum occurs at $r_c=\sqrt{3B/A}$. The corresponding <critical supersaturation> is $2A/(3r_c)$. Diameter and radius coefficients differ and must not be mixed.
