Critical cluster properties for classical homogeneous nucleation theory following Seinfeld & Pandis (2006), Chapter 11, Equations 11.27, 11.35, 11.52, and 11.53. Computes the dimensionless surface tension parameter (theta), critical cluster size (i*), critical radius (r*), and free energy barrier (ΔG*) as purely algebraic functions of temperature, saturation ratio, surface tension, and molecular volume. Use this component for parameter sensitivity studies or when the full nucleation rate (ClassicalNucleationRate) is not needed.
