N2 - Local overheating near the interface of a growing droplet may lead to a decrease in the rate of droplet growth if the heat conductivity is sufficiently small. Moreover, this rate may even change sign, so that droplets of radius larger than a critical radius will shrink. The existence of a thermal bath with heat loss through thermal dissipation narrows the range of existence of this phenomenon.
