      Critical radius r* = -2y / delta Gv Where delta Gv (driving force)= (delta H * delta T)/ Tm Substituting the values we got Critical radius is 11.28 nm

      Critical radius r* = -2y / delta Gv

      Where delta Gv (driving force)= (delta H * delta T)/ Tm

      Substituting the values we got Critical radius is 11.28 nm
