A new layer thickness (

Tw
Since no cores are evaporated in this pressure interval, no new pores are revealed.
Thus no ending Kelvin radius and average pore diameter are calculated for this inter-
val. Note that this means the report may have fewer tabulated intervals on the
collected data report than experimental pressure intervals.
(2.) If Vd
the remaining volume is due to new pores with core evaporation taking place in this
interval. K, the number of intervals with new pores exposed, is increased by 1. (For the
interval from the lowest Pr

The volume desorbed from newly opened pores in this interval is calculated as:
