Abstract
A new simple universal form of the Kelvin equation that can be used even near the gas-liquid phase transition critical point is shown. The correction of the chemical potential, pressure, and density outside the porous medium is presented and taken into account for the CO2 meniscus curvature radius calculation at capillary condensation in mesoporous silica MCM-41, known [1] for its wide range of applications.
