The Kelvin equation is used to calculate the onset/occurrence of capillary condensation
Where p is the pressure, is the saturated vapour pressure, is the liquid-gas surface tension for the bulk fluid, is the density of the bulk fluid, R is the universal gas constant, T is the temperature and H is the pore or capillary width.
