<div>No. If you choose, as an example, 300 bar.nm (wich, by the way, is equivalent to 30 dyn/cm), you are saying each monolayer will experience 150 bar.nm.</div>

<div>You could use the compressibility of pentadecane at 50 C
<div>(Sorry, I don't have the reference for this value right now.)</div>: 9.8 E-5 bar**-1</div>
