Thermodynamic quantities
The code for the integrals doesn’t have the pre-factor \(4\pi\), since the integrals are computed with respect to \(\xi^3\), which is equivalent.
The volume-averaged and bubble volume averaged quantities are different, and should not be confused with each other.
The integrals are computed using the trapezoidal rule and with respect to \(\xi^3\), since the functions are constant outside the bubble, where the functions are constant, but very few points are given. This scheme gives the correct results for these ranges, as the trapezoidal rule computes the integral of a constant function exactly, even when only the endpoints are given. If the integrals were with respect to \(\xi\), the functions would have the factor \(\xi^2\), which would break this useful property and require a more dense grid of points.
